Under a Gibbous Moon

Two days in, and I’ve put almost 8,000 words to page. Here is the prologue:

A dark shadow fell across Spring Hill Road. A dark inky blackness that not even the moon above could penetrate. It wound its way sinuously, creeping from side to side extinguishing the streetlights as it passed and casting the street further into darkness.

With the stoke of midnight in each time zone around the world, thousands of writers pick up the pen and answer the challenge that is Nation Novel Writing Month.

As with all challenges many will try but few will succeed in having put at least 50,000 words to paper by the end of the month.

I wish everyone who is taking part the best of luck and every encouragement. Stick with it and you will persevere and even if you don’t NaNoWriMo is far more about the journey than it is the end anyway.

I have finally selected a title for my NaNo. I have also put together a cover for it, it didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted to because my skills with GIMP are shit, but I think it works all right. A synopsis:

Carter Pearson’s life has been going down hill; his mother recently committed suicide and his uncle has been murdered. Because of this, he has returned to the home town that he hasn’t seen in fifteen years. Dark secrets await him in Arkham and darker things lurk there.
