My NaNoWriMo thus far!
Well, I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo this year, and for this week I have 13151 words according to my word count. It's some of the roughest stuff I've ever done, but it seems to be flowing well; maybe Ardashir was getting tired of not being allowed to speak up.
I don't want to say much more than I'm writing a heroic fantasy novel set in a (very) alternate Sassanid Persian empire with anthro wolves as the ruling class, as well as humans and some other beast-folk species around. It's occuring on the border between Iran and a very gothic-fantasy Arabia, I'm mostly making it up as I go (else I'd never have dared to start), and it does end up involving Irem of the Pillars as well as leonine Ethiopian kings and some amazonian spotted hyenas.
But no more than that else I'll talk it out and kill it.
If you're participating, then best wishes!
