I LOVE YOU - November's short story is here.
Listen or read from the link in my bio.
---
In a remote town, a terrible curse has plagued the good people. Their home is haunted by a ghost – or something otherworldly – that is killing them off one by one. The government has locked them in with no form of communication, and only one man knows the truth behind the horrors.

I Love You is November’s short story taking you into a paranormal horror where survival is looking slim. Enjoy the story in written form, the artwork, and in audio through the podcast with improv synths.

Hit 50,465 words! Cranked out the last 11k today and pausing this dark fantasy crime thriller. It is probably 75% done and the ending is clear now...with a book 2 in mind.
This manuscript had no outline and I embraced Dean Wesley Smith's theory of writing into the dark. It's a lot of fun and im rediscovering the excitement of having no idea what's coming next.
Time to put this story on hold and wrap up that horror manuscript.

Squeezed in another 2,754 words today. At 26,045, over half way there!
Dictation with no outline is a ton of fun so far.
