I finished book one of The Ambassador’s Curtain! Book one is called <i>The Curtain Climber’s Strength</i>, and it is 78,458 words long total. (I had written 27k or so before NaNo) My total word count for today is 3,465 words, bringing me to a November total of 51108!

Book 2, The Ambassador’s Last Mask  to be started tomorrow!

I am seriously so excited to be done this first book, not because it wasn’t fun to write (it was very fun to write), but because now I have finished my first novel!!!

My favorite excerpt from today is this:

He still had his nose in the book when he heard the bell behind him. He jumped, put the book down, and turned around.

A figure in a huge cloak was standing in the open doorway. The wind whipped the snow around him and through the doorway. Then he stepped out of the cold and into the light, letting the door slam behind him. He had a hood drawn far over his face, and beneath it, behind a huge brightly coloured scarf, Jay saw a glimpse of very pale skin. The tailor looked up and motioned to him. Jay looked back at the book.

“I’ll be with you momentarily,” Jay heard the tailor shout.

“That’s okay,” the man said with his head down. The voice sounded strange and familiar. “I’m not here for your wares. I’m here for him.”

Jay looked up, and in surprise he saw that the man’s finger was pointed right at his chest. He looked up from the finger and backed up in fright as he saw the man’s face. Jay backed up against the desk, and then he turned and ran.
