Where Do I Go From Here?

Posted: November 11, 2010 in Uncategorized

So apparently, according to my Nano Stats, at the rate I’m going on… I should finish 50,000 words by January 8th! Success, no?

Yes, yes, it’s plain to see. I’m not doing very well. Mostly I blame this on: APUSH, Math, School in general, Babysitting, School talent show, Fall show, hanging out with friends, NO TIME to write. And then when I do have time (like never) I don’t feel like writing.

BUT I’m not letting this stop me!!! *cheer* My next semester (and Senior year in fact) are going to be MUCH less busy, and I plan on finishing this novel. I knew nanowrimo was a stretch, but it’s really gotten me excited about finishing, so hopefully that should happen. Maybe. We’ll hope and pray.

So yeah, getting support from two people about my Prologue was exciting, as I’m sure you can imagine. <3

And now I hope they enjoy Chapter One! Yes yes. I’m excited.

My Stats:

Word Count: 8007

Word Count I should be on: 18334

Failure: 57%

See you soon! Please let me know what you think about the new chapter xO

Whoah-oh here I go, and I’m thinking it’s the first time I’ve felt alive.

What have I gotten myself into?

The answer to the title of this post is…

NaNoWriMo, of course!

If you don’t know what this is, you’re crazy and you need to stay inside more. Find out here.

For the few of you actually interested in my story, I’m making this short so I can get back to writing.

AUTHOR: Me (Merllamalarmalaid)

WORDS SO FAR: 6,000

WORDS I SHOULD BE ON RIGHT NOW: 10,002

MOOD I’M IN: Failing / Excitement

CHAPTER I’M ON: Three

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Lewis or maybe Ash

SYNOPSIS #1: Under the oppressive rule of the Allaths, Lewis has to find a way to free himself from bondage to a royal family. The problem is, his closest friend is a part of the family. Can they join together to escape from the problems of the ruling government?

SYNOPSIS #2: Being royal isn’t what Magnolia dreams of; in fact she hates the fact that she has to act fake all the time. What will she do, with the help of her family Riok servant, to get away from this mess?

(Did you notice they’re from different views? Yes, you sure did. (Did you also notice they sucked?) Hey, get out of here. This is my parenthesis. (Sorry.) It’s okay. But yes, I did notice they sucked.)

POINT-OF-VIEW: Third Person Limited

POINT-OF-VIEW CHANGES: So far there are 5 different povs planned, though only 2 are frequent, one is sometimes, and the other two might only be a one-time-deal.

INSANITY: 57%

DAYS LEFT: 24

 

Yikes, this should be fun.

Go there. This is my friend Nicole’s NaNoWriMo story!

We’re both behind, so this will be interesting. (Unless she suddenly wrote 4.5 thousand words since the last time she updated her word count).

PUCK! Aaaaand… goodbye!
