Den #NaNoWriMo gibt es nicht mehr, dafür kommt nun der #NovelNovember, kurz #NovNov. Das klingt wie ein Parfüm. Heute geht es damit los.

creative plans?
I’m formatting Book3 & may upload to publish today.
Then?
I’ll perform a novel scan on Book6, Aramon Daughters, & the novella, Memorized Darkness (yup, I'll publish together—for reasons).
Hopefully, I’ll also create a project for Expired Reflection, a Pannulus Mystery, & write narratives for it (if so, I’ll draft in Dec).
Photography will happen here & there, time & weather permitting hikes.
#PennedPossibilities 831 — Halloween Edition: A friend suggests that your SC spends the evening in a pumpkin patch, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. Would they do it?

Hell yeah. Hati would love that! She would be fascinated and thrilled in equal measure. (If she somehow knew about the Peanuts in the future, of course. LOL.)
Also, this is one of the cutest questions I've ever received and it's perfect for Halloween!
THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
Peter Warren Dease, who was later a famous Arctic explorer, spent three or four years in charge of New Caledonia. A likeable man, beloved by his employees, Dease was one of the first men to lead out the HBC Brigades to Fort #Vancouver #WA #AmWriting #History #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/peter-warren-dease/

IN 1828, GOVERNOR GEORGE SIMPSON VISITED the territory West of the Rocky Mountains, making his way down the HBC's Brigade trail and, eventually, through the Fraser River canyons to #FortLangley. He was lucky to have survived, and he knew it! #AmWriting #History #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-eight/
NEW ARTICLE ALERT
from me, Victoria Simon & Nathaniel Laywine
"What’s with All the Tapestries?
Intersectionality and the Discursive Vacuum of Generative AI”
We use methods called “kibbitzing” and “futzing” to critique the representation of intersectional identity in ChatGPT & MidJourney.

Hey writers, what the hardest part of your writing routine?
For me, it's getting started. I find any number of distractions (like making social media posts) to delay writing that first word. Once I *do*, things tend to flow nicely, but that initial keystroke is often my biggest hurdle.
Happy Halloween! Happy Friday as well! Another chapter of #WingsOfQuietLonging has arrived for everyone to read and enjoy.
PS, this story was written for @CodexArcene.

A perfect chapter for All Hallow's Eve!
Alistair and Fenella's peace is disturbed one rainy evening. As it turns out, their past has come back to haunt them.

IN 1826, THE HBC GOVERNOR GEORGE SIMPSON rode from the place on the North River where a small post was later built, to the old post of #Kamloops. Of course the Governor himself did not ride a horse, but was transported downriver in a canoe. #History #AmWriting #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-seven/
#PennedPossibilities 830 — Have you ever created a SC that you later wished was the MC?
I have. It's Dante in #TheCityOfOpulence, so I created the #DigitalDystopiaSeries for the universe, and he's going to be the MC in the second novel.
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Snowshoeing was a skill that all the HBC men who arrived at York Factory, on Hudson Bay, needed to learn -- but many accidents happened while they were developing the skills needed. Here is one young man's story.... #AmWriting #History #Manitoba #Yukon #NWT #ThreeJourneysNorth #DehCho #Arctic https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/snow-shoes/
2000 more words added to Shallow Trenches/Open Skies, and the 5th writing day in a row I've hit that goal.
Today's writing veered into horror again, and I'm okay with it!
Feels like I'm finally hitting my stride.
FROM THE PLACE NOW CALLED LITTLE FORT (where a small fort was later constructed), the men of the HBC Brigades made their way down the river banks to the old post at #Kamloops, riding over rough, broken, and rocky ground to the fort. #TheHBCBrigades #AmWriting #History https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-five/
#WordWeavers 10.30 — What sort of emotional therapy pet would your MC benefit from having?
A black kitty, maybe. Or possibly a pet moth, just because of how important they are to vampires. (It only makes sense with context of the story, and I know how weird that might sound right off the bat.)
I hope this is read in the way intended. It wasn't tossed off, and I hope I've approached the subject with sensitivity (colonial violence and complicity past, present and future)
