I wrote this as my entry into Nanowrimo. The idea of the competition is to complete a 50k novel in one month. No major prizes just the satisfaction of completing the task and an offer of some writing software.

It was fun to do and though it may never be considered a masterpiece it kept me occupied for a month.
Writing it taught me the vital skills of creating a book outline first. Turning characters into flesh and blood and moving a story ever forward.
There are perhaps today, a few changes I could make but I keep it as it is as a reminder to myself. Now I ghostwrite for clients and my skills have improved but Algarvalypto was the root of it all.
If I can't blow my own trumpet and advertise my efforts on Steemit, then where can I right?
