World building, characters, and NaNo
Sep. 27th, 2010 11:50 amSo, since I finished the rewrite o' d00m, yet again, I've been at a loss.
However, lately, I've been doing some world building and scene notes and outlining for NaNo. I was turned on to a beautiful program called Storybook.
It's been really handy for helping me flesh out characters and thinking of just how many scenes I'm going to need for this particular story.
Which is great and all, but I want to write the damned thing. Why isn't it November yet?
So, I've been distracting myself lately. Mainly with the fleshing out. I know how old people are, and their relationships, I even have a huge subplot idea for the romance between two characters.
It may end up being two characters that I hadn't even thought of.
Anyway, this is what I've been doing. Except, today, I'm going to try to put it down and do something completely different. Why? Because if I keep going too much, I'm going to burn out.
I do have some maps to make yet, but the maps I have made made me realize that the other two maps are actually complex and have multi layers that are not so easy to take care of. (As in they need actual layouts and graphing and... yeah. I might print out graph paper and see what shakes loose that way.)
Anyway, this is my prep for NaNo at the end of September. November really needs to hurry up and get here.
(See, if any of my other projects would sit up and go "HI" at me, I'd work on one of them. But do they? Nope.)
Also, it's really freaking cold in here!
