NaNoWriMo 2010: SOON.

Less than a week until I start. Hopefully I'll be able to fill my major plot issues before I get to them.

Around 1000 words a day? I can pull this off. Brainstorming and planning alongside this while keeping up with my schoolwork?

..............We'll see.

Here's my page there (http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/546002) It'll show my progress as I go along. I'll see if there's a widget I can put up on the side of the blog.

Fiction: Convenience

I'm bored and trying to kill twenty minutes, so I'm going to make something up real quick and just post it without editing it. Let's see how I do. Feedback would be nice. And I'm aware this will probably be lame, but oh well. Enjoy.

NaNoWriMo 2009?: Last Year's Entry (UPDATED 11-20-2010)

After delving through Google Docs, I found last year's attempt at the book. It is the same idea that I'm working with this year, so any notes for this year apply. The basic outline is about 98% different. Link will follow after the break.

NaNoWriMo 2010: The Artifact

This is my MacGuffin, the thing everyone wants in my story.

NaNoWriMo 2010: The World

This is a basic description of the world. Will be updated as it goes

NaNoWriMo 2010: Solomon

Solomon is one of the main antagonists of the book. I don't know how big of a villain he'll be in the first part, though, or even if his name will stick (it probably won't). More will change as I go through it.

Full description after the break.

NaNoWriMo 2010: MacGuffin Mystery Solved

So my story has a MacGuffin.

"Goodwin, you devilish rogue! What is a MacGuffin?"

I'm glad you asked. A MacGuffin is a plot device that drives the plot in fiction. Sometimes it's an object. Sometimes it's a person. Think of the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, the maltese falcon from... The Maltese Falcon, or the Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The term was popularized by Alfred Hitchcock.

Basically, it's something that characters in a story all try to get. It does something amazing, or something horrible.
