This steaming pile of fiction came to an early end, after my writing month was cut short by a bout of flu.
Undaunted, I returned to the fray in 2007 with an attempt to research the background for a fantasy world. I couldn’t squeeze much out, and there’s not even the flu to blame this time. Just too much research needed, and no sense of inspiration.
Bloodied but unbowed, I’m at it again in 2008. Will I make it this year?

For NaNo 2008, I’m trying something with a little more structure. It’s called Zodiac,
and is about someone who travels through all twelve signs of the Zodiac, having a

If Zodiac comes out reasonably OK, I intend to make it the storyline of a computer game. So if it seems to read like the description of an adventure game, you can understand why.
