JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 2

Here is the next part of Attic Mirror. For those of you who were wondering why I didn't uploaded sooner and in three parts as there is worth of three days of work in it, that's just because I wanted to add more thing in the other sections of the blog and that will continue like that except if someone tell me that they want to read the rest of the story as soon as possible in which case I would be very glad to help as I'm a bit carving for comments right now.

So let's go back to what is interesting us here : Attic Mirror. I really like that novel especially because it's really different of Demon Soul even if there are some common characters. I have completely different feeling while writing it, that's a great new experience.
When I was writing it, as I'm always participating to those writing challenges with friends, one of they told me about a really cool website called write or die. I'm using it in the kamikaze mode so it starts to eat my words if I stop typing for too long. I find it very helpful to help concentrate.
Since I started Demon Soul my average of word for 30mins was about 500. Using this new tool I discover that now it's more 800, sometimes close to 900 words. I hope I'll keep on improving.

Christmas Amigurumi 2009 : Bunny

En français
This year I've been making Amigurumi as Christmas present for some of my friends again.
I made this lovely rabbit for my friend's daughter. Apparently she had asked Santa for a rabbit, which I didn't know though. So that is all good.

Iceland : the way to Ísafjörður

En français
Going to the north along the fjord Hrútafjörður we stopped several times to see little waterfalls.
The fjords road is long but the landscape is beautiful. We passed in Hólmavík, Reykjanes, Vigur and Súðavík to finally arrive at our destination of the day Ísafjörður.
We still decided to continue a bit and arrived in Flateyri where we felt isolated from the rest of the world.
We finally go back to Ísafjörður for the night where we slept in a campsite near a waterfall.

JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 1

After the success of NaNoWriMo in November and NaNoFiMo in December during which I wrote Demon Soul. I decided to continue writing and to register for JanNoWriMo (January Novel Writing Month). Basically it works the same way as NaNoWriMo except that you don't have to start a new Novel, you can continue an old one, and you don't have to write 50000 words but you can choose the number of words that you want. Look at their FAQ, it explains it all better than me.
Anyway, as I finished my novel already, I decided to start a new one. It will be a bit different this time, but you will still recognise the characters you previously met in Demon Soul, for those of you who read it. The main character is not Brownie anymore, it's Hitomi. She is a writer and like to experience a lot on her topic before actually writing something. She is going to discover a magic mirror in the attic. So the name of this novel is Attic Mirror I won't tell you more about it and I will just let you discover the first part of the story.
