And so day 2 is ending, and I stand firmly at 6525 words. I am doing well. This is a good thing. I'm not super excited about my story or characters just yet, but I think I'll get there. I'm finally figuring out where the plot is eventually going to go - it has to do with dragons having electromagnetic abilities and the entire city being heavily ( Read more... )

Why, it's almost time for NaNoWriMo again! Only a week left to go, and I'm well into plotting and character creating and world building. I'm very excited about it again this year, even if all the university stuff makes it a tad unlikely that I'll actually win, but hey. I'm not necessarily doing it for the winning, I'm doing it for the writing. I ( Read more... )

So, I finally took some pictures of the snow surrounding our building. You can comment the pictures there if you'd like. It should let you comment even if you're not a member of My Opera.

The story is even ( Read more... )

Granted, there are some really bad passages and some really awkward dialogue and stuff, but still, I'm generally rather happy with what I've gotten down ( Read more... )

So, we have reached the 6th day of NaNoWriMo, and I reached the limit of 10 000 words yesterday. I currently stand at 11 269 words and the story is progressing nicely. I'm currently at chapter four and just introducing my third important character, and I quite like him so far. I'm really getting into this world aside from a few things: since it's ( Read more... )

So, it's now Day 2 of NaNoWriMo ( Read more... )

So, yeah. I was bored, so I opened a new IRC client and chatted to myself. Technically, that is. At the level of thought, the ones chatting were Bill and Bebe.

Angered by the sues that are way too common in Final Fantasy VII fanfiction (FFVII-ff, lol), I did some writing.

As a side note, it took me centuries to get this entry - yes, this entry with only one real sentence - right. First Opera was acting up and now Firefox. Wut?
