NaNoWriMo starts in two days!! I\u2019m so excited!<\/p>\n
This is my first year participating in NaNoWriMo and I can\u2019t wait to start, but I\u2019m really behind on preparing for it. I\u2019ve already temporarily put aside An American Werewolf in New Orleans<\/em> and have come up with a new idea to write for NaNoWriMo (which I\u2019m not going to talk about too much yet) I realised too late that it might not have been such a good idea to pick this more complicated story to write for NaNoWriMo but I\u2019m not going to change now!<\/p>\n I\u2019ve done a lot of world building and I\u2019ve invented a lot of characters but they\u2019re not too developed, and all the plotting I\u2019ve really done is coming up with the basic idea and some major plot points. (Give me a break, I\u2019ve had a busy October!) But I do plan on working on the plotting and at least some character development in the next couple days.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve kinda turned the den into a makeshift office as you can see in the picture above. I have my white board that I\u2019m doing my world building on and my computer where I\u2019m building my cast and keeping ideas for my plotline. I have made a soundtrack for my book which currently only has some movie soundtrack music on it.<\/p>\n I feel like I should say something about my NaNoWriMo project, so I’ll give you some vague info on it.\u00a0 This is a fantasy book as you have probably put together by now. The most interesting thing about it that I\u2019m currently willing to share is that it\u2019s highly inspired by the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora\u2019s Mask<\/em>, one of my favorite games. And of course my book soundtrack has some of it\u2019s music, I think Song of Storms<\/em> is kinda the main song for this story right now. The main character is a boy, age 13 (I may change his age) and I have not yet settled on a name for him, I was thinking Lazarus, but I don\u2019t know if that name fits him all that well.<\/p>\n Now I need to come up with a spoof title to refer to it as on this blog, I\u2019m thinking about just using my real working title since I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ll change it later, but it does kind of give away something about my story that I don\u2019t want to announce yet so I\u2019ll just use a spoof title. I want to use the Zelda title so maybe something like The Legend of the City<\/em>. I like that, it fits very well with my story since it does involve a legend of a city (it\u2019s more of a small town but The Legend of the Town<\/em> doesn’t sound as cool to me). I\u2019m going to go with The Legend of the City<\/em>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all I have to talk about today. If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo this year I would love it if you would put your spoof or working title in the comments. Also, if you know any cool suggestions for my main character\u2019s name please put that in the comments too.<\/p>\n Bye!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NaNoWriMo starts in two days!!
