NaNo Rebel 2024—Day 1
Word count: 800
A nagging feeling had been haunting me the whole week. I knew I had forgotten something—something big… . Like taking part in NaNoRebel 2024 to write the outline for The Spheres Book 3.
It is November 1st, 2024, 2 hours to midnight, and for some reason, I am flicking through this year’s blog posts—not nearly as many as I wanted to write—and find this: July Writing Update. I remember writing it. I was just slowly coming out of a bit of a dark place, and some slivers of light could be seen on the horizon.
Then I see it: I had been planning to take part in NaNoRebel. Only, days blurred into weeks, and weeks blurred into months, and how the skies can it already be November 1?
So this might be possibly the worst first day in the history of Nano participation, but who cares?
I turn to my laptop, open a new document. A blank page awaits me—white, innocent, and full of potential—and I start to type:
The Spheres, Book 3…
