H is for Hell and Heartbreak #NaNoWriMo2017

And that's exactly where I've ended the first third of my novel. My hero and heroine have split up (not through any fault of theirs), and the friends and family haven't figured out what happened, much less how to get the lovebirds back together.

One of the hero's sons is the devil who caused the breakup:


He's on a downward spiral because of some of his own personal hell, and nobody can figure him out. All will be revealed in part 3.

The heroine is going to revisit some of her own personal hell to figure out where her life is headed. Hasn't she suffered enough already? Isn't she due for some happiness? (Oooh, another H-word!) And damn it all, politics is making her temper heat up in a big way. Damn the devil, if the orange idiot isn't going to win and make life a hateful Hades for everyone.



Meanwhile, the heroine's girlfriends are having a hell of a time trying to find a way to help their friend ease the heartbreak. Stay tuned for the big Intervention tomorrow.

Act I of my three-act story structure ended today with 2,180 words for a running total of 27,724. I'm way ahead of schedule for NaNoWriMo - oh, heaven! - but it looks like typing The End will put me at about 75.000 words. Well, hell. Couldn't happen to a better couple.


Meanwhile, she spends a lot of time curled up with her cat on this loveseat, feeling miserable.


He spends his time alone riding the ranch wondering why his lonely heart is ready to crack wide open. Life can be horrid.
