Because books.
Bev, haven't you read it? I'm sorry! Sending now -- there's only a little more.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I read the very first of it--if you've added any I haven't. And I want to, because it began very intriguingly.
Thanks!

Even though I'm starting late I've decided to take a stab at NaNoWriMo. I've decided to work on my own twist of the Anita Blake, Sookie Stakehouse style plucky heroine with extra powers and vampires.

I signed up to participate, but have yet to start. I'll be working on an idea that's been haunting me for well over a year. It's a modern-day take on Rumpelstilskin (with a few other fairy tales thrown in for good measure).

So far I've managed to ramble for 750 words about the heroine and I haven't gotten to the plot, which is good because all I know is there will be vampires and magical creatures who will need my protagnoist's help since she's Special (she's an empath with a touch of Second Sight)but she's got a steady boyfriend, no real hang ups about sex, and works in bar. She will also spend the requisite amount of time describing her cute outfits.

Oh askye, I love this description so much, I'm sitting here giggling like a little girl.

I just started reading Sookie Stackhouse and she has relationship issues, with the whole telepath thing. And also she and Anita spend a bunch of time describing not so cute outfits.
So I thought if I'm going to do this I'd need to hit all the key parts to writing vampire mysteries with plucky heroines.
