Commentary on Day Thirteen

Well, it’s been quite a while!

I could explain in detail why this stagnated so much but the answers basically amount to: my job and my baby.

That being said, I do intend to continue this from here on out. I’m obviously well behind what’s expected of nanowrimo, but I never really thought this would reach 50k words, so missing ten or so days shouldn’t matter that much. Besides, I should be able to make up time.

Here’s where a big shift in this narrative begins. Odysseus learns, finally, that he is at the mercy of a goddess here on this island paradise. From here, the narrative will shift gears somewhat dramatically, in that I think we’ll get the rest purely from Calypso’s perspective. We’ll also begin dancing across the years rather quickly and in a more impressionistic style.

But I’m mostly popping in here to say that I have not discontinued this novel! I was just waylaid for quite some time. Hopefully I can begin making that time up tomorrow and every day after.
