Day 5 and Counting
Nov. 5th, 2010 05:20 pmMy plot is running away from me like a yowling banshee.
And I was totally right about it becoming a Gazette fic, ahah. It's a complete AU though so it's almost like having my own characters. Except they're awesome. :P
Unlike some people who are just barreling forward with their word count, I'm staying true to the goal of 1,667 words a day. My schedule seriously can't afford anything more than that. I have 3 separate term papers hanging over my head, one which includes reading a 547-page book (that new autobiography, Life by Keith Richards for my "Understanding Music: Rock" class) and all other sorts of chaotic-ness. Plus, I'm trying to write a few lines for Lion each day so it doesn't get swallowed up by the madness. I'm really in love with that plot, so don't worry! It's definitely going to be updated no matter what!
About the NaNo novel: a plot is slowly taking shape. It's funny. It went from being serious, to crack, to a brief glimpse of serious, followed by more crack. I'm just rolling with it. December is for editing (meanwhile my internal editor is screaming at me with a variety of expletives). I'm not going to really say what the plot is. Because... I really don't know. And I don't want to set myself up for anything because I'm just taking this as "writing blindly". It's very heavy in dialogue though, which I enjoy. I've always loved reading dialogue because it shows a character's personality and is (when done right) very engaging to read. So we've got a lot of that going on.
Here's a small (small) excerpt:

Welp. Off to complete the Day 5 word count.
