So it begins

NaNoWriMo has officially started. I, of course, have jumped in. Last month I had my plot all worked out and then a couple days ago, I decided to rearrange the entire thing. Brilliant, just brilliant. So now I am getting to know the characters involved as I go along. Who knows what my fingers may bring about next. I was going along fine, when out of no where sprang a new character. I had never heard of him before, I did not know his name, and his characteristics were a mystery, and yet there he was. I have, over the past hour or so, come to know him slightly better. Writing is always an adventure, and I can hardly wait to see what tomorrow has in store. If you wish to see a short segment from the book, one can find it on my NaNoWriMo page (D.T_Faerie) or simply read below.

Lona sat alone, surrounded by the woods she had once found solace in. Her eyes stared off into a distance, seemingly at peace. Only her trembling hands betrayed her. She finally seemed to come out of a reverie and her eyes closed tightly. Had she run away? Had she been thrown out? She couldn’t remember, it had happened so fast. She opened her blank eyes once more and resolutely stood up. Her legs gave out on her and she fell back, hitting her head against the rough hide of a tree. Pain ricocheted through her head and she let out a scream that rent the air in two. Panting, she wondered if that had given the villagers a fright. She hoped so. Still weak from the day’s events and pain still threatening to overcome her, she passed out.
