The Winter-is-coming Project

 October’s Tales has come to its inevitable end and on November 1^st I had my first day off in weeks. I didn’t like it. A project is needed and it is needed now.

 I once read that when Terry Pratchett  wrote his first novel, he began writing the first hundred words of his second novel before writing the last hundred words of the first one. I wish I’d done something like that, because to come to the end of such a big project (for me) without having something to move straight on to is not a comfortable place to be. I’ll know better next time.

 So, not wanting to waste any time thinking, and opening the gates to all the horrid things that come from thinking, I’m moving straight on (that one day aside) to the next task: October’s Tales was a story a day to keep the nagging doubts away, now a story a week will give the harlequill ample chance for havoc to wreak.

 A story per week. For 7 weeks. A minimum of 400 words per day. For 50 days. Ending on Friday December 21^st. The first day of Winter. Hence, this project will be known as Skaði’s Prologues.

 I admit, I feel a little nervous. There is more pressure to be had in writing stories with ample time to edit and tweak. There’s little space leftover for excuses when you’ve had the time and opportunity to improve your work!

 But there it is. That is my next project. I hope it’ll work out, I hope it’ll be fun, and I sincerely hope you'll enjoy it.
