misia: Post the first sentence or two of all your works in progress.
I'm going to count my NaNoWriMo first drafts, but I'm not going to do all of my short stories that I think need a revision someday, or the ones that I think are good enough that I just haven't sent out in a few years. I will count the Warren thing, though.
The Shadow & The Flame(fantasy novel): "Yeryis awoke to darkness and a cold bed." My first pseudo-NaNoWriMo novel, 2001.
Entanglement(SF novel): "The probe was called Crocus." Second NaNoWriMo novel, 2002.
Edge of The Vortex(fantasy novel): "Tish heard a noise coming from the south." Third NaNoWriMo novel, 2003.
The Man In The Suit Named Everett(sort of SF novel): "Everett Quintain drummed his fingers impatiently on the green wooden counter of the dry cleaner's." Fourth NaNoWriMo novel, 2004.
Aleph-Null(superhero SF novel): "'Go home, Ervin.'" NaNoWriYe novel from 2004.
"The Soul-Stealers"(fantasy novella): "Garath awakened in the darkness with the wrung-out feeling that came from having passed through a fever and come out the other side." Also from 2004 NaNoWriYe, though I haven't finished it yet.
"Warren & The Disintegration of Society"(who the hell knows?): "The first inkling Warren had was when his watch burst apart on his wrist." Started as a result of
15minuteficlets, who knows when I'll get back to it.
Oh, hey, I'd almost forgotten about this one:
Evangeline(sort of SF novel): "I awoke and was for a moment disoriented, not knowing who I was or where." A short story I wrote which I'm expanding into a novel. Sometime.
Now I just have to decide if I'm going to start yet another novel for NaNoWriMo this year, or if I'm going to take some time off and see if it makes me more productive next year. I'm not holding my breath.
