An explanation of what TNT is and what projects I'm working on!
TNT (short for That November Thing) is a writing challenge where the original goal is to work on the first draft of a book! Some people do use this time to work on editing as well.Typically the goal is around 50,000 words, but people are free to set their own goals too!Originally the challenge takes place during the month of November, as the name implies, but my group has decided to offer more time for those who want it; the extra time starting October 15th and extending to December 15th.
Lovers Drawn is the book I did for November 2024.
Status: 50,296 words writtenEvelina Saunders, like a lot of people, is soon moving for work. And, like a lot of people, she consults her tarot deck daily. While she expects to see the Death card during her last two weeks in her old home town, there's one card that's paying a lot of visits.The Lovers.Though curious, Evelina pushes the ideas behind the card to the back of her mind; she has a move to make after all. Shortly after moving, she makes friends and learns about a well loved couple in town; Rosa and Rasmus Castillo. And soon, they start to show a lot of interest in Evelina.And suddenly, two straight weeks of drawing the Lovers makes a lot of sense.Lovers Drawn is a low-stakes, cozy queer romance featuring T4T4T and Bi4Bi4Bi with elements of found family.
