Back in the fall of 2012 I have just finished the first draft of "Lost Prophet". I decided that I wanted to keep productive in my writing, but not something as heavy and detailed as what I had been working on.
When NANoWriMo started I decided I was going to write a zany fantasy novel. The goal is to open the flood gates and just write whatever comes to mind. The results was the story of the slow witted son of a goat herder, and his precocious young friend, who are mistaken for a great wizard, a devious assassin, a might warrior, a devout cleric, and an evil pirate.
This is a story that I am not sure what I plan to do with it in the future, but it was amazingly fun to write.
