Witches & Werewolves is a story I wrote during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It was more or less just to prove to my creative writing class that I could do it. It was definitely difficult to meet the 50,000 words in 30 days target, but I managed to do it.
Most writers that participate in NaNoWriMo do all their plotting and planning in the months leading up to November, they even have sessions to help with this process… but not me!
I happened to watch a movie with my daughters on Halloween day when my oldest asked, “What would happen if the werewolf only turned human on the full moon?”
Good question! It got me thinking and I didn’t think a reverse werewolf story had ever been written before. So after thinking about it until November 5, I decided I had enough ideas to write a story.
I joined NaNoWriMo, almost a week late, and STILL managed to hit the target… albeit around 11:30pm on November 30th (50,320 words!)! Then December and January were editing and revisions and today the book is available.
It was a fun little story and is already popular on SOL.
