I’m 1,870 words into my novel and my main character, Minx, is living up to her namesake. She’s knee-deep in trouble and has no idea what to do about it.

You see, Minneapolis Draven has faced her first dark moment of adulthood…the death of someone who’d protected her. He wasn’t even someone she liked…and somehow that makes it harder. I look forward to seeing what mischief Minx can get into tomorrow. Until then, I’m out.

Russell. I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this year. (National Novel Writing Month, check it out HERE). My novel is The Skies of Venus: A Steampunk Tale. I’ve created a button for motivation and can’t wait to get started!
