NaNoWriMo + [Kiriban?]

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 12:10 PM
So, I just realized I totally missed my own 6000 PV moment, and so figured I'd do a kiriban for 6666, 'cause it's such a terribly evil number+one more digit. So, keep an eye out for some 6s! (yes, I'm aware that I still owe ~Momeiji her kiriban prize from 5k and I'll get to it soon, I promist)

in other news, I decided to do NaNoWriMo this year, although I decided it a bit late and I'm now a week behind. I'm really excited about my novel, which I haven't been about any of my writing for a while, so that's a good sign! I might post some of it up here for some critique (and then probably take it down rather quickly). Right now, my biggest road block is not knowing what my characters look like. I usually create characters and then for a plot around them. However, that often results in characters that don't really have much of a role, but that I'm still attached to. This time I came up with the plot and created characters to fit the plot. It's SO much easier this way! I'll be writing along and all of a sudden I'll be like "oh hey, I need some grumpy politicians" and poof! I stick in some grumpy old folks. ~Momeiji's been kind enough to offer to do some concept art of my characters and the design of their clothing, so hopefully that will help!

So, to give you an idea of what my story's about, because I'm sure you're all so very interested to hear about it, I based it rather loosely on the story of Cleopatra and her struggle to keep the throne of Egypt. So my story deals with the consequences of being overly ambitious and the inner workings of an easily corruptible government in a misogynistic society. I know, very vague, but I wouldn't want to give anything away, now would I?

haa haa made you look
(everyone dies muhahahahahaha)

anyway, enough of me. Go on, get back to your lives. Do something productive.

Sounds interesting. You should ask Corkster to critique once you have some up, he's very good with making writing fluent as long as you can handle his sarcasm. Most people got hurt in my creative writing class by him, he made one girl tear up. But he's good!

I told missed my 5,000 pgview and just noticed it had shot up by a good 300 the other day. I was like "D8?!"

I wants that kiriban. ;~;

Corkster? (sorry, I don't know who that is... is it a nickname or something?) I can handle pretty heavy crit, so maybe I'll ask him.
