NaNoWriMo
November, time for getting ready for winter, turkey day, and of course writing. National Novel Writing Month officially started a few hours ago and so far I’m already over my 1667 words per day limit. The great thing about it is that I already have a pretty good attack plan for this novel, so hopefully I’ll be able to get the whole 50,000 word limit done.
The story I chose was one that I’ve had with me from all my years of Role Playing on the various forums. It’s about the life of my character Isaac, the beginning of it is set just before the RP Aurora Chronicles and describes a different character than the familiar dark and demented Isaac we all know and love. It is basically a recap of his life, the prologue shows him at the grave of his comrade Laura and explains briefly how she died. Clearly this is actually both the beginning and the ending of the story, since if I go past that whole incident than I’m getting into my project for next year’s NaNoWriMo, which I don’t even want to begin thinking about yet. Actually I take that back I did want to at least get the titles done for my projects and basically I’m doing a trilogy:
- Aurora Chronicles: The Crusades
- Aurora Chronicles: The Celtrean Wars
- Aurora Chronicles: The Eternal Peace
Clever titles? I don’t think so either, but they get the point across. Anyway I’m rambling the point is it focuses completely on Isaac’s life and after the present it goes back to the past where he lives in an orphan in the kingdom of Silvercrest, he’s only five when that start I believe. So far it kind of starts slow though there is a little bit of action to start out with, but not much. The first couple of chapters focus on how he develops into a divine knight followed by him getting involved in the Crusades. That’s all I’m willing to give away now, but stay tuned same Jim time, same Jim channel.
