NaNoWriMo 2018!
Aka, I've probably bitten off more than I can chew. But would it be NaNo otherwise?
This year, I'm working on several small projects in order to make word count, rather than just one novel. I am scatterbrained by nature and thus I'm hoping this will work out for me, so if I get bored on one, I can easily swap to something else. RP tags will not count towards goal, unless it's part of Ghosts.
So, the projects!
- Ghosts on the Corner, a collaborative novel with Meghan. Written as RP scenes (which those are going to be a beast to edit) and solos scenes smashed together. It's a lot of fun, but having another project to work on at the same time will help me make word count in between tags.
- A new Highlander fic!, as part of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hlh_shortcuts. It's my first year doing a fic exchange - the last one I did I was still on LJ - so I'm hoping I come up with something that doesn't disappoint its recipient. I figure that starting in November means I'll have plenty of time to iron out any potential kinks in the writing process and be able to get it to a beta long before its December deadline.
- The Elemental Story, which isn't its actual title, but it'll work for now. I had attempted this idea for one NaNo or another, but I didn't get that far, but I discovered what I had written, and... it's not too bad. Plus, now these muses have told me something of where to go, so I'm going to see where it leads me. If nothing else, it'll be some words to add to my total and I can figure out what to do with them later.
- Rivendale, aka the "make the RP muses play together until something happens." Still need to finish writing this beast, though I love it dearly. Need to plot a little more of how to lead up to the final confrontations, because jfc this story is going to be hella long before it's done.
- One New Message, which is in draft two. I know what I want to fix, just need to actually sit down and do it. In this case, I'm thinking 1000 words per hour editing.
I probably won't do daily word count updates on here, probably on Tumblr though. Wish me luck!
