Author’s Note: Well, my NaNoWriMo adventure started off with a bang. Me, and my best IRL friend L’en had just finished a movie (The Secret of NIMH actually) and she went to the bathroom. In the bathroom down here we have a low flow toilet, which are the root of all evil.
Many of you will be snickering by now, you all have had low flow toilet adventures of your own , doubtless. You know the evil of these toilets. How they spend all day conspiring against us. Yes, pure evil resides in these commodes.
Anyway, we are both late to starting our Novels (We are both NaNo-ers) because the toilet overflowed and we had to clean it up. I am sure it is now quietly chuckling to itself.
However, I should use the author’s note for its true purpose. To inform my readers (All one, maybe two of them) of stuff that is in the novel that I will other wise get much hate mail over that I will have to answer over and over and over again. I do not want to do that. No, no, no, not at all. So I am writing this ‘Author’s note’. That’s right! To please you, the reader! It has NOTHING to do with boosting my word count. M-hm. Nothing at all.
Anyways, the ‘wolves’ in this story WILL NOT , I repeat WILL NOT behave like the wolves of this world. These Creatures, while canine and wolfish are not EARTH WOLVES. They are wolves of another world and they are evolved beond earth’s wolves. Their behaiviors have also subsequently evolved, so DO NOT email me telling me that ‘wolves just don’t act that way’. EARTH WOLVES do not act that way. These. Are. Not. Earth. Wolves. Get it? Get it? Good.
Now, they are not martian wolves either. They don’t fly around in spaceships. They are rather like primitive people. Ever read Ratha’s Creature by Clare Bell? Well, this story is like that sort of. It’s just that ‘wolves’ evolved instead of cats, or humans. And it has magic. And it’s written by me. And…
Another thing I want to warn you of is do not email me about how you hate my characters, or my story. If you hate it do not read it. Sending me hate mail only gives ME permission to Mock YOU. So if you don’t want to be subjected to public humiliation do not send hate mail. Got it? Got it? Good.
Also, the version of this story you see is the NaNoWriMo version. AKA : The No-Editing-What-So-Ever version. Do not email me telling me I need to correct my spelling or grammar or what have you.
If there are any odd breaks in this novel, monkeys jumping out of wells and destroying the world for instance, they are not my doing. Even though this is the first year I am doing NaNoWriMo I will be doing my best to write a coherenet story.
Well…except for the obligatory grammar and spelling mistakes. I might have to do a spell check once ever 10,000 words or so. I dunno.
One thing I will ask YOU the reader to do is to email me if you notice a break in continuity, I am a continuity FREAK and if you email me I will either A: Explain the alleged break to you or B: Correct it.
If you run into any unfamiliar terms or stuff you don’t get flip to the back and take a look at the glossary. It should make things a LITTLE clearer than mud. If you think something needs to be added to the glossary tell me that too and I’ll add it. Hehe.
Well, thanks for putting up with all the crap in my note…on to the novel…Abandon all hope all ye who enter here.
