Once more unto the...

[jamunoteno]

Ok so it begins again, I only realised yesterday that it was November and now I'm throwing myself into my nanowrimo novel with my normal...well apathy really. I love nanowrimo and I'm always coming up with ideas, but actually putting them onto paper...well...that's just weird

I have even fewer words than you do, but they're all perfect so I don't care that I don't have tens of thousands of words yet ;) I really should just stop now before I ruin what I have already by putting an entire story around it ...

Meanwhile, when/where are you posting this work of yours? I am eternally curios, of course.

[jamunoteno]

Oh I don't think I should ever post it, it's absolutely dreadful. But then that's half the fun. I'm currently up to 4289 words, so feeling quite productive for me. If I can do 5000 by the end of the night I'll be pleased with myself.

Never going to manage the full 50,000, but at least I'm getting a better feel for the setting, so I can run a roleplay game around it. :)

What's yours about?

[ciceronianus]

You probably shouldn't, but that is why you absolutely must ;)

If you write five thousand words I might have to rescind my insouciant comment about not caring and become bitter with envy instead ... although that sounds like quite a bit too much effort, really, but it would be marvellous for the novel written about us writing these novels, I'm sure ;)

If nothing else, you should post more about the world - your worlds are always more interesting than the real one.

Mine is about a schoolboy mafia ... or it's a supernatural crime drama - you can see how much progress I've made by how easily what I've written could fit into either of those stories ;)

Why not mix the two, could be marvelous.

My world is a re-imagining of history. Back in medieval times there was an incursion by an extra-planar artefact, a kind of anomaly within reality, that caused Britain to manifest "magic" (ego-kinetics I think is the random term I used for magic), which led to the British empire overthrowing the world. Now the world is split into massive cities, each ruled by a different lord of the realm, who has a different set of laws for each kingdom.

The monarchy currently controls the Cathedral of Truth, which houses the Grail (the anomaly) and has built a weapon known as the Seraphim, which sings a song of unmaking, which unravels reality itself. Naturally it's all going to go horribly wrong. :)
