November is just 30 minutes away and technically Nanowrimo has already started in some timezones. I'm going to be attempting again this year, with a story set in an artifical dimension within an alternate universe.
I plan to reach the goal amount of words this year, so I've basically cleared my schedule of other projects such as games and websites. I'll probably just do a bit of work on OrbScape whenever I need a break, since it's experiencing a completely random jump in search engine popularity. An update to OrbScape can take as little as 5 minutes, so it doesn't waste much time =DMy story this year is somewhat similar to the one I tried last year. But this time it takes place on a "lost" planet instead of the moon and the mystery is about where the planet/people came from rather than somebody kidnapping a ton of people. But really, the primary difference is that this story takes place outside of the main storyline I'm using in my "books," so I don't have to worry about quality or continuity. Writing high quality stuff is just too slow for nanowrimo =pThis also means I should be able to share the story with you, unless it truly sucks. So at the very least expect to see a couple more blogs mentioning it =p I couldn't mention last years because I'm keeping my main storyline a "secret" for now.Anyway, the main point of this blog is that if anybody else here is doing nanowrimo then they should add me as a writing buddy: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/537938Other news: Pokemon Twilight V5 is ready for release, so I'll probably be submitting it here sometime this week.
so whats the twilight game consisting of. i dont remember anything about it. haha.
and whats orbscape?Pokemon Twilight is pretty much a standard pokemon game with no official Nintendo pokemon. I think we are renaming it to just Pokemon Lunar/Solar though because the word twilight stopped being cool.
OrbScape is a jagex fansite, for stuff like runescape, stellar dawn and funorb.I'm not participating this year, but I added you as a writing buddy anyway.
Advice from a finisher: complexity helps - if your story has a lot of different characters, locations, themes and subplots, you'll probably find it more fun, and thus easier to write. My story was set in two towns that had legally-mandated colour-schemes, involved dinosaur-aliens, alien-aliens, human-sacrifice-making gypsies, a maths teacher who acted like a superhero, a weird underground maze, a civil war and three different sets of viewpoint characters… and that's just what I remember. There was gonna be some stuff about a mafia and the alternate musical genre of heavy jazz, but I never ended up getting around to that.Man, I've got to read that thing again…Well speaking of aliens, theres going to be 7 or so intelligent species on the planet, only 3 of which will be aliens. I already know the general ending of the story, but how it gets there is up to however many subplots I stick in.
So nobody else is doing nanowrimo?
I'ma going to have to do this :D
Your blog is incredibly cheesy.
/bad punI'm doing it too!
Edit: Lol the site is buckling under the weight of the users trying to access it because it's just started. :PYeah lol, this is the first time I've been able to log in today.
Right now I'm trying to calculate a couple things about the planet in my story, I've got surface area and circumferance figured out =] Now I'm trying to figure out how far away the horizon would be (this is a tiny planet, so a lot closer than on earth), dunno if I'll need that info but might as well figure it out =p
