NaNoWriMo

<Snipped quote by mdk>

My original plot idea was a Marine in the NATO-I, I being the Interstellar section- NATO across the stars. In this futuristic AU of sorts, there are three factions: NATO-I, the Renewed Warsaw, and then the Eastern Alliance- China/Japan/Middle-East, versus America & Europe, versus Russia, Ukraine, etc.

And after first being deployed, aliens show up. Who also have different warring factions.

And the plan was it to become this great big clusterfuck of different factions of human and two different alien races, constantly fighting and making new alliances and such. My character being in the middle of it.

But I couldn't even get past the first thousand words.

@WilsonTurner

Sure you can. The first few chapters suck because that's not the part you want to be writing..... so skip 'em, come back later. Just start in on the fun stuff and go from there. Is it going to be publishable, readable, right off the bat -- no. But don't worry about that.

@mdk
Sure?
I can't guarantee I'll actually end up writing anything, but sure.

@WilsonTurner

Sci-fi: There is no such thing as aliens -- anymore.

Fantasy: They thought they won, but the journey home was even more dangerous than the war.

Modern: The bank robbery is going exactly according to plan, but all is not what it seems.

idunno. I could try again if you've got a favorite genre. Honestly now -- everybody should be doing this. See how far you can get -- it's farther than you think! And writing that long is really, really good for you.

I was GONNA, but I found out that my inspiration and crap is absolutely SHIIIIIIIET when I'm writing on my own. I seriously cannot write without having either a given prompt (For an essay) or the knowledge that I am responding to someone else, or someone else will respond to me.

@WilsonTurner

would you like a prompt?

NaNoWriMo

how's everyone doing?

I lost a few pages last night, but caught back up today. Almost on track again.

The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

Something that is minor spoiler to the contents of my entry

And I just found out there's a Marvel character called "Speed Demon" within 24 hours of sending that because I decided to watch the Wolverine VS Raiden death battle. I had no idea. Oh, well. That makes me wonder... *googles*

And "Apocalypse Maiden" is a trope, I had no idea. "Soul Surgeon" was a band. "Mirror Witch" is some boss in some games and "Undertaker" I expected already to have been in use everywhere anyway. It would appear "Gunpowder Fairy" is pretty unique, though. Hahaha.

@PlatinumSkink

Don't feel too bad. I'm two chapters into novelizing "Cintamani Stone" and I just found out it's basically a slightly more grounded version of Uncharted 2, which is like, a multi-billion-dollar platinum GOTY type megagame.

NaNoWriMo

Woke up this morning and ripped off a thousand words before coffee. Day one is always just the absolute best..... call me again on the 20th when I can hardly write a paragraph at a time.

The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

Once again, I got too excited after finishing my story and sent it in without a whole lot of proofreading.

The Latest GOP Debate- Likened unto Skyrim terms.

Anyone knows some good comparisons for the liberals?

@Unfortunately

Well, Hilary is Satan, for one....

NaNoWriMo

In it to win it. Rewriting Cintamani Stone as a novel. Also, trying to make RPGC into something that incorporates your totally unrelated NaNo, so if you're NaNoing, make sure you come check out the contest here.
