NaNoWriMo

If you've not heard of it before, this post title's probably got you wondering what I'm smoking, right? Well, not to fear! It's only tobacco! Anyway, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and it's being running for a few years (not sure how many exactly) during the month of November. Basically, it's a challenge to write a 50,000 word (or more) novel from scratch within the space of that month.

The idea is to simply just write and not worry about content too much, or editing. That comes in December. :P The only reward if you reach the goal, is some downloadable certificate, but I think the sense of accomplishment you would get is a sufficient reward, amirite? Anyhoo, here's a link to my profile page, and you can go and sign up from there or read more, etc, if you're interested!

I'm at 11,545 words at the moment, so it's going not too badly. Fingers crossed for me! :P

Oh, and Entwined Chapter 13 is almost finished. Go me!

Shame On Me!

Well, it's been a while, but thought I'd post an update here. :)

I'm busy studying away at the moment. Well, technically, not really studying, as the course I'm doing is a writing one. It doesn't really require 'study' per se.

I'm part way through writing Entwined Chapter 13. Haven't really had the time to finish it though. I did open up the document yesterday, but then was called away to do something else. >.>

I've also written quite a bit more for my original fiction, so that's coming along nicely.

I'll post a small passage of fiction here that I had to write for my coursework. 75 word limit.

The sun had set hours ago, leaving the cramped, overly-filled office space in a state of gloom. The usually glaring overhead lights were off and the only source of illumination came from an old, barely functioning table lamp.

A solitary figure sat behind the dull glow of the lamp, half hidden behind a clutter of office paraphernalia stacked haphazardly on the desks surrounding him. He was scouring through a dog-eared day planner, muttering to himself.

(Word count: 75)

Entwined Chapter 12

Oh, I completely failed at keeping this blog up to date this time. >.>

Well, Chapter 12 has been up for a good week or two now. Oops! I have excuses though! Yay!

I'm actually on the Isle of Arran at the moment, on a little family vacation with my parents. To say the internet connection here is unstable, would be generous! Ah well, only a few days left then I'll be back in Sweden. :)

Theeeen, in the beginning of November, I'm off to L.A for 2 weeks. Woot! That should be interesting. *nod nod*

Anyway, because of all this hustle and bustle, Entwined will probably not be updated as much as I would like. It's bad enough already, I know, but real life must take priority. :<

I've already started on Chapter 13, so don't despair! :D

Entwined Chapter 11

Darn, this post is a couple of days late again. >.>

Oh well! The next chapter of Entwined is up on FFN now! :D

Again, it took a rather long time to get the chapter completed. I’ve been finding it difficult finding time to write as well as the inclination. So, meh. :(

This last chapter seems to have been well received though, so that makes me happy! As always, I shall try my best to update a little quicker with the next chapter, but I can’t make any guarantees.

I’d better leave this post here. I have some dinner event thingy to attend and need to get ready within the hour. Aaargh, cannot be bothered with it, really! >.<

New Story

Soooo, I had this sudden burst of inspiration last night. I know! It finally happened! O.o

Well anyway, this isn't a fan fiction that I started writing today, it's a completely original story! Ohmigosh! So, sorry dear fanfiction.net but this story won't be gracing your pages. I'm really excited about it though, I truly love the idea I've come up with. Gotten about 14 pages written so far, and it's progressing nicely me thinks.

It's less serious than my usual writing, though it still has serious overtones.

Don't worry though! I shall still be updating Entwined, of course. ;)

Now... I wonder if anyone actually reads this blog to view this tidbit of information... :o

Entwined Chapter 10

Three weeks have passed since I posted the last chapter. Blimey! I am such a slacker! :o

Ah well, I do have valid reasons, though I'm not going to make excuses, as I have been slacking too. >.<

I got me a new PC though! Well, actually it's my fiancé's 'old' one. Only a few months old, and he felt he had to go get another new one, and I got the hand-me-down. *chuckles* I can't complain though, it's pretty nice. It's a fantastic gaming computer. Now I just need to start playing some games again... No! I musn't! Must devote more time to updating Entwined! *cough*

Anyway! Hope the wait for the chapter was worth it! *trudges off to begin writing next chapter*

Entwined Chapter 9

Oh dear, I keep forgetting to add updates to this blog at the right time. I'm a day or two late again. :<

Chapter 9 took quite a while longer to write than the other chapters as my fiancé decided to give me his flu. How generous, eh?

The most annoying thing is that it never came out properly, so I was moping around for a week feeling generally miserable with no end in sight. I suppose the good thing is that it could have been worse. But coughing your lungs up when you have broken ribs is just... eek!

Anyway, enough moaning from me! The new chapter is up on ff.net aswell as media miner (though I'm not sure if it's worth posting it on both sites). It seems to have been generally well received so far, and the scene I'm currently working on is so much fun. *giggles maniacally*
