October

You know when the greatest introduction to your blog post that you can think of is, "Haven't posted in a while!"
Well, I haven't posted in a while.
But a friend reminded me of my blog and I thought, Hey, I haven't talked to random people on the internet for a long time!
And it's October now, guys. October, the month of schooly-school. Only, I'm bored and done with school at the moment, so it was the perfect opportunity to write on mah bloggy-blog.
Another thing about October is its the preparation month for NaNoWriMo. If you've done it before, you're groaning as you read. NaNoWriMo is a program (National Novel Writing Month) where, in 30 days, you have to write 50,000 words. That's roughly 1,700 words per day (2-3 pages, typed). And for the craycray authors like me, who love to abandon homework in the pursuit of a very badly written novel, NaNoWriMo is quite the adventure!
I've already planned out what story I'm writing--it includes dreams, magic, politics, true love, forced love turning into true love, and a crazy four generational father-son issue that I have to solve. My male protagonist is a renegade prince, and my female protagonist is the viceroy's daughter, running away from assassins, dabbling in magic and joining gangs--all during her engagement to the king!

NaNoWriMo makes people do weird things... This November, I will become a hermit--with nothing better to do than write all day long! It's great fun :)

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I draw my characters to figure out what they look like. These two look strikingly similar, though they weren't made to be the same person ;)
