Whew! Taking a break! The writing bug returned in full force. And, holy crap, my muse has me breaking a sweat!
While it is NaNoWriMo (National November Writers Month), I don't keep to a writing schedule. I love to write and do so when time permits. It's no surprise it typically comes in spurts. Over the past week, Karma has gained some weight around its midsection. As of this post, the outline contains 35K words and is 122 pages long.
"Karma" begins in Mississippi in 1949. After being struck by lightning on church grounds at the tender age of nine, Mary wakes from a coma three days later without a single mark on her body and no recollection of the event that would forever change her life. Mary soon learns she can transform someone's fortune however she sees fit—good or bad—simply by touching them. After decades sweep past, Mary considers whether the peculiar power was a gift or a curse.
NEXT UP IN KARMA: Mary and her family will embark on a trip to New York City—a place they have talked about visiting for years. It will give them a chance to visit their aunt, who had found success in the fashion industry. While exploring the Big Apple, they decide upon an adventurous idea: visit a palm reader. Here, Mary will discover a much darker and more astonishing revelation about her gift than she realized was possible.
