Hey ya'll ^_^
Well, this year is my first year doing Nanowrimo. I found out about it around the 12th of November last year, and since it was my last year of highschool and I tons to do, I wasn't even willing to try and make the deadline and vowed to do it the following year. Luckily this year's come around and I'm in my first year of university...doesn't seem like too much work too far, so I'm going to try my hand at it.
I've got a plot, it's actually the first book in a series of four (because I can't just write small things, no...everything has to be an epic for some reason) and it's the typical fantasy quest thing. I'm hoping to liven it up with original twists here and there, and the actual items that they're collecting are new (I haven't seen them in books/games before as the main target, unlike gems or souls or keys *coughKingdomHeartscough*) so I hope that'll help.
As for October (aside from papers I have to do), I'm going to spend the month fleshing out the world I plan on using for my story. Now, the world's been created for a few years...I just need to change things a bit and add details. Technically there are four stories that should come before the quartet I want to write...and only the first one is even started (yay 56 pages that needs ot be completely rewritten). Is it bad to start something in the middle? George Lucas proves yes -.o but I hope I can do it well anyway since I have the first four stories written in my head before the quartet even starts. They take place a couple hundred years apart anyway, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Anywho, November calls for writing, midterms, essays, and my keeping-up on the webcomic I write/colour/code for *sigh* So hopefully I'll be able to make the deadline *nod*
