Inbetween - Nanowrimo 2021 Announcement

Image
  Sup everybody! As you could probably guess, I am doing Nanowrimo yet again this year. I unfortunately didn't win Nanowrimo last year ( check out my posts about nano 2020! ), but this year it will hopefully be different. Let me introduce to you: my 2021 Nanowrimo project! Here is my synopsis for Inbetween: " Alistor Charmichael-Freeman lives a normal, satisfying life. But he wishes for more. Until one morning he wakes up 12 years in the past, being told he's been a coma for six months. He's 13 again. But something isn't quite right with this time. People still remember things that happened in the 12 years Alistor supposedly made up. He has to confront the forces behind this change, and look inside himself before everything he knows falls apart. " ... Yes it's an Asteroids and Dragons sequel story, shut up. The funny thing is I haven't actually shared the actual story for Asteroids and Dragons, so the fact that this is a sequel to something I've ne...

Writer's Block and Deviating From My Outline - NaNoWriMo Week 1

 ACCESSING FILE...  PROJECT TITLE: CAPTIVATED CURRENT WORD COUNT: 9,026 WORDS        So. How have we gotten here to day seven? I don't know, but I am already feeling the "not wanting to write" and "wanting to do anything but work on my novel". The month started out with a really good 2,000 some words on the first day. And then Chapter Two hit. Writer's Block hit real quick after that.      This is a screenshot of my outline. By about... the second square I deviated from my plans. I'm not going to put a screenshot of the next bit because SPOILERS . But the problem is worse later on. I'm also supposed at 11,000 some words by the end of today. I'm either going to need to sprint hard or I'm going to be pretty behind.     I need to go try and be productive. Stay Awesome! <3

NaNoWriMo Announcement/Story Synopsis

 Hello! I haven't posted in a while. Why whenever I say "Stay tuned!" in a post I go into a huge hiatus? Anyhow, I have a huge project coming up that I'd like to talk about a bit... National Novel Writing Month. Or NaNoWriMo, as it is more commonly called. I've attempted to do NaNo three years in a row, and this year is the year that a finish it! NaNo is starting in a little over a week as I am writing this, which means I am in a scramble to finish all of my preparations. I still need to solidify some character arcs and finish world-building for the country. But, I won't be getting into that right now. But I will get into some basic details of my novel. My novel is called Captivated. It's a YA "competition" book as I like to call it. Other competition books are The Hunger Games and The Selection. Both of which are fabulous trilogies*. Captivated is pretty similar in pitch to The Selection. A bunch of kids get chosen to go be a part of a competiti...
