Sorta-daily NaNo check-in: Getting ever closer, but, unfortunately, real life is poised to get in the way; a family emergency has come up, and will need to be dealt with very soon, so I’m going to hopefully hit the 50k NaNo goal before that and then take a break before continuing with completing the story.

Lionheart and Kid are enjoying a bit of peace right now, but trouble is looming, unbeknownst to them…

Lionheart shrugged and accepted the
piece of fudge that Kid gave him, and his eyebrows arched in surprise.

“Hey, it is good!”

“It’s milk and sugar—what do you
expect?” Kid mused.  He let out a squawk
as Lionheart now reached into the box for more fudge.  “Hey, this is supposed to be for the both of us!”

Daily NaNo check-in: getting closer and closer 😀

This upcoming chapter will feature the dream team in action together for the first time.

Also, in case there was any doubt as to who inspired my main character–

Lionheart still carried an old edition
of Hamlet—one of the very few
possessions he had taken with him the night he ran away from home.

Daily NaNo check-in: we’ve reached chapter 4, and are in the process of unlocking Lionheart’s tragic backstory.

And through flashback, his father gets his establishing character moment–

“Obey me, Leon!  Obey!
…Or do you need to spend more time in
the trunk until you’ve remembered how!?”

The bolt of fear striking his heart
then was exactly the same now as he recalled the memory of it.  Lionheart caught his breath.
