I wanted a nano, and instead I have to write a novel.

Due to a confusion on the web-site (NaNoWriMo) I am not getting an extremely small mp3 player after all, and instead I've signed up to write a novel in a month. Well, 50,000 words.

This gives me a chance to get my Sergio Leone/Hunter S Thompson/Laurel and Hardy tribute written, which has ben niggling at me ever since my friend Bill ranted so entertainingly about why Fantasy is in such a bad way...

At the moment I know that it's got two main characters, someone has an impotency curse laid on him in chapter one, it features a stable lad who is not a secret darling of destiny, and a character called The Man With The Map.

Does that count as an outline?

Oh, and it's going to be called "Never Apologise, Never Explain", since I'll have no time to re-write or edit myself...

Must remember:

"Two swords would be more even"

and the title is probbly now

"Bloodraven Takes a Walk"

There's a key passage from Lord of Light for tone which I'll try to remember to copy out here.

When I think of swords I think of "but there is something you don't know - I am not left-handed"

"I admit it, you are better than I am."
"Then why are you smiling?"
"Because I know something you do not"
"And what is that?"
"I too am not left handed."
