NaNoWriMo is six weeks and three days away. In my last tri-annual report I was stumped on what novel I should do for the challenge. But not anymore. I’ll be writing the novella “Hellsgate.”

So Nadia the Fire Witch will have to wait. As well as the Dream Brotha series: Dreaming of You and Not Dreaming of You. And the yet to be plotted Dreaming of Love and novella Dream Fake Lover. Then there’s the holiday romance novella series story idea that came to me in May. Featuring Steflon Don as plus size model Valentina. Danai Gurira as famed hairdresser ‘Indie.’ And Thandie Newton as baker and bakery owner Merry.

I’ll tackle these between other WIPs as writing breaks in February, July and December. But I still haven’t found my male heroes. Any suggestions?

Now to get back to writing. See you in two weeks! 😀
