Well, that didn't go as planned.
First week of NaNo also coincided with the middle of the semester for me. You know what that means, boys and girls? MIDTERMS! All and all, I got about 3,000 words in the whole week.
So that weekend, I realized that rather than trying to catch up using a story I'd been assembling as I went, I'd be better off using one I had more planning for. So bye bye, Nemo, and hello Novus Mundi!
What is Novus Mundi, you ask (You did ask that, right?)? Well, when I was in 5th grade it was about the re-incarnations of four Final Fantasy 7 characters fighting a reborn Sephiroth, then when I was in the 7th grade, the plot changed to four teenagers sent to the distant future to recover magical crystals and fight their own personal deamons. Sometime in High School, the plot changed once again to, "four misfits take on a distopian government in a post-apocolyptic, cyberpunk wasteland while trying to find the meaning of life."
I was hoping on saving this one for a later date when it was in a more publishable, as it's a story whose skeleton has been with me more than half my life, even if it did grow and change to be entirely unrecognizable from its initial inception, but I have been seriously neglecting it the past few years, and this may be my chance to finally dig it up, dust it off, and share it with the world, get some critique, etc. I don't know how often I'll be updating it, but once every 1-2 weeks seems likely.
So with out further ado, Novus Mundi

6 days 'till NaNo
As per suggestion of a friend of mine, I have started a writing blog.
This probably won't be anything that I'll be updating with anything vaguely resembling "regularity," but having an outlet to the wretched masses of the interweb is a-- Well, I guess you could say a "liberating experience."
Often times before opening night, a play production will have a free preview night, which is essentially a glorified dress rehearsal, but with an audience. In any sort of performing art, audience feedback is essential, and perhaps this won't be so different. Mayhaps this shall allow my creative juices to surge into the various cavities in my brain (as there are quite a few). Hooray for interactive mediums! Internet: one, Pen and paper: Zilcherino! Also, I think the title is suitably pretentious, don't you?
During November I shall keep my (as of today) non-existent readers posted on my NaNoWriMo progress. If you stumble upon this little scrap of text upon your mystical adventures through the web, won't you please be my NaNo-buddy? http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user%252F255322 With your help, I may actually win this year!
My story is based on an ongoing RP (don't you roll your eyes at me, wippersnapper!) I've been doing with a very dear friend of mine (not the one who suggested this bloggy business.). The title so far is "Nemo" for reasons not pertaining to clown fish or submarine captains, and is a typical story of a young girl whisked away to a magical fantasy land. Unfortunately, said fantasy land is besieged by a cult trying to summon into existence a Lovecraftian world destroying monster. Hopefully, you guys'll dig it. If not... well, I haven't exactly thought that far ahead.
