Huzzah! I just finished writing the first draft of my novella The Temperance Ridge Runaways. It is just shy of 27,000 words.
Next up, I must plot another novella for next month's horror novella course. I'm expected to write 5,000 words a week, and there's no way I have a chance of accomplishing that without an outline. I've never written fiction from an outline before. I'm a big-time pantser. Here's hoping it works for me.
The plan is to write a cosmic horror story, Indigenous-style. I haven't written much cosmic horror before (although there are elements of it in my novel The Everwhen). I'll be treading new ground on multiple fronts. Like the Runaways story, this will be set in the backwoods of New Brunswick in the early 1970s.
