NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story end

Last Monday, I actually finished to write "Harajuku kiss". I'm not totally sure if I'm totally happy with the ending or not yet but I tend to always rewrite the ending when editing to publish the novel anyway so the ending might change as well as other part of the story. I know that you have been waiting for a long time for the ending so here it is, I hope you'll enjoy this little Christmas present.

The other particularity of this novel is that it actually takes place in a real place and not a place that I totally made up like for Demon Soul or Attic Mirror. On Tuesday I went back to that place again but not on my own this time. How it was on that day and what happened there was like I was really part of the story minus the murder and minus the Kiss.

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story part 6

This part is not yet the last part. Things happened that I didn't plan at all and it got scary. Maybe I just got genius ideas or maybe I just got confused, it's for you to judge.
This part is also shorter than the others, I would say that's due to post NaNoWriMo recovery. I still hope you'll enjoy reading it.

"Attic Mirror" news

So that's it, "Attic Mirror" is finally on sale.
002


















I knew that I had been showing it off for a while now, between writing it and getting the first proof and reviewing it but now that's it, the wait is over, you can finally get it on Createspace.
And because I know you have been waiting for so long already and that you are all so impatient to know more about the story, I decided to start reading it for you. So here is the first part of the first Chapter. I'm not the best reader in the world but if you want to hear more of it, just let me know and by the end of the book I might have improved  quite a bit. I hope you'll enjoy.

Don't forget to get "Attic Mirror" here or on amazon Attic Mirror

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story part 5

I WON NANOWRIMO, AGAIN !!!
For the 3rd time in a row I won NaNoWriMo. The first time in 2009 I only had 20 days to win and I managed to get Demon Soul partially written and hitting the non-return point. 
In 2010, I manage to write the first part of "Vampire heart" and I know I still have a lot of work to do about it.
And this year, I managed to reach the 50000 words one day in advance by writing 5363 words on November 29th on my first detective story.
As usual however the story is not yet finished and I need about 20000 or 30000 more words to hit the ending but I reached the non-return point once again. And that is what NaNo is all about for me.
Harajuku Kiss
NaNoWriMo teaches you to finish stuff, to get into your novel so deeply that when you actually reach your 50000 words it is a lot easier to get the last couple of 10000 words needed than to give it up. NaNoWriMo teaches you habit, it teaches you to write everyday even if you don't want to write, if you have no ideas, if you are writing rubbish or if you are to old/smart/stupid/poor/rich/busy/French/analytical/perfectionist... to write. Because you know that you gotta do it anyway. NaNo allowed me to realized my childhood dream and to be somewhat of a writer. So here is the part of "Harajuku Kiss" (Yes the detective story does have a title now :) ) that crossed to 50000 finish line.
And don't worry, you'll have more coming in December.

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story part 4

It's almost the end... of NaNoWriMo, I just have about 5 days left to reach the 50000 words and win at the same time. I reached the 40000 words threshold last night and took some advance to be sure to finish on time while still going camping tomorrow and thus have a little break from writing.
For some reasons I can't explain a lot of his story didn't turn out quite exactly as planed. My characters suddenly decided to be unpredictable. I have a lot of trouble of knowing what's happening in Seiji's head and why he is acting so... hum... well I guess I better let you discover what I mean.
It seemed that she is going to trust him when he seems pretty untruthful to me, what is going on in this novel is a complete mystery. I feel like I don't know Seiji at all which is kind of disturbing but probably better for what is coming next. Enjoy !!

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story part 3

It's Friday again !!! And time for 探偵小説!! I did it, I did it, I said it in Japanese.
Anyway...
I didn't write much on the blog this week and to help you forgive me about it, today's blog is a vlog.
I'm on time with NaNoWriMo and I took the time to go hunting my characters. Generally my previous stores always took place in place belonging to my imagination, as you have seen in "Demon and Fairy" or Attic Mirror... oh you thought I really had been to the fairy world or Teneria... hum... sorry but no, they are just inside of my head... (Open a geography book, also.)
But this time as my novel doesn't requires magic or weird places or vampires, it really takes place in Tokyo and well Tokyo is a real place. So I wanted to show you the place where I found the main ideas for this detective story. I went back there and I hope you'll enjoy the "Walk in Harajuku".
