About cat person
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time once again for Friday First Drafts! If you’re a $5+ member of either our Patreon or Ko-Fi, you can get early access to the first draft of my Nanowrimo novel. I’m having fun writing it, and might polish it up and do something with it once the month is over.
Join at the $5 or higher tiers on either Patreon or Ko-Fi to get access to the latest EPUB file of my horror/thriller/whatever novel, “Cat Person!”
So, I picked up another project, because I’m a project magnet and I can’t stop myself. It’s just who I am. Mostly because I’ve been stuck in a state of grief and I need something to occupy the odd moments where life feels strange. Which is happening a lot lately.
Anyway, I’ve attempted Nano in the past a few times and generally never made it past 10k words. (The goal is to aim for 50k over the course of the month, and wind up with more-or-less a novel, if you’re unfamiliar.) I had a weird idea and decided to run with it, on November first. I mean, why not? So far I’ve made my way to about 14k words, and I’m doing well.
(If you’re also doing Nano, or just want to keep up with my progress, you should be able to follow me on the website – I’m Bugbyte!)
The story I’m writing is pretty unlike anything I’ve done before, but if you’re into horror at all, it might be up your alley.
I’ve decided to post my very, very, very rough drafts as I’m working to Patreon/Ko-fi for $5+ members of the Chio Club on Fridays, so I can jokingly call it First Draft Friday. They are extremely unedited and probably very, very bad, so bear that in mind. They’re also epub files, so you can read on basically whatever device, as far as I’m aware.
The first of these went up today, and contains chapters 1-5 of a story I’m so far calling “Cat Person.”
Fear not, I am still working on comics projects, too. This just gives me something productive to do when my shoulder aches too much to draw anymore. Typing I can manage, mostly.
Anyway, if you decide to join and read, I hope you enjoy, but don’t take it too seriously, haha.
