A few years ago, my mum took us out for an Indian meal to celebrate my and Hubby's 40th birthdays.

Fun fact: We were born in the same year, within three weeks of each other. I'm older! lol

AND that's 40k words written in 16 days! 10k to go before I 'win' Novel-November, and 22k before I reach my goal.

Kiss Me After The Kill is building to the climax, and I could not be happier with how this story has unfolded.

*CALLING ALL INDIE AUTHORS AND READERS**

🎄With the festive season approaching, it seems like a good time to celebrate the people who lift us up, inspire us, and whose work we enjoy.🎄

As such, Karen Sanders Editing is launching the Indie Festive Cheer Advent! 🧵 1/6

Just putting this out into the universe now. Given that many Sims YouTubers (like Lilsimies and James Turner) are expanding their video content into other cosy games, like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley etc. I would love to see them play Pokopia when it releases. Farming X Pokémon would be amazing!

For Work In Progress Wednesday I thought I'd give a little update on my vampire romance, KISS ME AFTER THE KILL, and my Novel-November progress.

I can't believe I have now written more than I have left to write! I've written over 30k this November, and the story is currently at 52,269.

This year, I'm going to be taking part in KML Publishing Services' Advent Calendar.

One of my books is hidden behind an Advent door this December, along with other festive offerings from those in the writing community.

Erm, yeah... remember how last week I was celebrating hitting 20k on KMATK? Then Novel-November happened, and the story is now on 40k!

Almost halfway to my final target of 82k, and I'm hoping to get the story complete by the end of November.

Really feeling the Novel-November spirit this year.
November 7, 2025 at 2:52 PM
I've officially upped my Novel-November goal to 62k so that I can complete KMATK this month.

The daily writing sprints are keeping me nicely on track, and I'm on almost 15k in just week one.

As I'm nearing the mid-point of the story, I have some very intense scenes coming up. I can't wait!

Hit 30k on Kiss Me After The Kill yesterday, so thought I'd share a teaser of what's to come!
November 4, 2025 at 12:44 PM
I'm really feeling the power of novel-November today, and wrote 5.8k words.

I have written 10k since Oct 31, which also means KMATK is now on 30k total.

I’ve decided to up the stakes and aim for this month, and am now aiming for 62k, so that I can get the story complete by the end of the year!

PUMPKINS!
Mine, of course, is the little bat. Hubby's is the evil moustache and goatee one. Oldest did the one that's crying -- it's a character from the Binding of Isaac. Youngest did the teeth monstrosity. It's from Library of Ruina. Pictures for reference.
November 2, 2025 at 11:08 AM
So it's technically the first day of Novel-November. Did anyone write?

I did not. I don't write on weekends, plus I was too tired from staying up late reading last night! lol

I am, however, counting the words I did yesterday in the WH, WN sprint towards my 50k goal.

October needed an exorcism (and maybe a nap… or three).
PMDD, hospital trips, and vampire milestones — October really said “good luck with that.”

But hey, I survived, hit 20k words on KMATK, and launched this year’s Write On! challenge!
