NaNo: Kat’s Tail Synopsis
October 16th, 2008
Will catch up on comments tomorrow.
I don’t know why but every time I start writing about my project I start to get seriously hyped up. I just finished filling out my novel info section on my NaNoWriMo profile page and if I weren’t so tired I swear I’d run off and go type out another three or four scenes for the night but fortunately (I say fortunate because I have to work tomorrow and I need to get some sleep) I had such a wonderful running around kind of day that I don’t have enough energy left to even consider opening my word processor.
This is a screenie from my NaNo profile. I saved it because it just looks so nice.
In my opinion the summary doesn’t do it justice of any sort- that’s probably why I’m not half paranoid about sharing it but anyways, yeah, no justice done.
There’s so much I would have liked to put into this but- short and sweet seemed right and goodness knows how easily I could go off on a tangent about one of my stories.
Sometimes I just go on, and on, and on, and so far that it probably would have been easier to write the book. Lol. :)
Anyways, how’s my day been? Excellent. I went with my mom-in-law today to the museum and listened to another one of our relatives given an awesome lecture on Native Americans which was absolutely wonderful. You could tell that he loves what he does and I had a really great time. Rei, mom, and I are all going back again for another one next week and then we have another trip planned after that to go see the actual museum and spend hours upon hours combing it over with love and enthusiasm.
I’m considering volunteering up there this summer though I don’t know what use they’d find for me I’m sure I could do something to help. This summer is going to be awesome- I have so many things I want to do and I’m sure I won’t have time for all of it but that’s the fun of it. There’s so much in life to enjoy.
I really did enjoy that lecture today. It made me feel more connected with my new family and honored to be invited to attend. Better still- it actually helped me do some research for some of my other writings and I just feel so darn good for putting some new knowledge into my head. I tell you it’s strange not being in high school, or any non online school, for so long and then suddenly making yourself sit quietly in a room with others to listen to another for the sole purpose of learning.
So awesome.
I’m very, very tired and my only day of work this week is tomorrow. It’s sad because 1. we’re between seasons and there aren’t many hours going round and 2. because the one day they put me on is actually my two month anniversary and I was hoping to spend it at home lovingly torturing my wonderful husband but that’s alright. He’ll be up at the college anyways so I’ll just wait till the net day. :)
Anyways, double peace out for now. I need to sleep.
I really like your screen cap. Did you do the graphics for it, or a program generated it for you? The summary sounds interesting. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to write for Nano. I know it will be 10K; I have a general idea of what I want to happen; but the plotting is getting to me. Hopefully, I’ll get more in the mood later in this week.
Happy writing!
Michelle: Thank you. :) I made the center part. The header is originally from this template but it had an image of some young model right through the center of it so my sis, my husband, and I all worked together 20 minutes just to edit her out, another good ten to find an awesome image for the center, and nearly an hour to figure out how to put it all together in a way that didn’t look silly. :D We used a program called Paint.Net it’s a little like MS Paint but cooler and with toning options. :)
Well, if nothing comes to mind via the NaNo you could always grab a bunch of characters that have worked for you in the past, lock them in a room and see what they do. :D 10k sounds like a good goal for the NaNo, not too much and not too little. I’ve always personally thought that people should set their own goals no matter what the project is. It’s like how many books say we should try to write 1,000 words a day. That doesn’t work for everyone. I have two goals I set whenever I sit down to write. The lowest I could possibly stand to get down (300-500) and then my target goal (generally 1k). Anways, I’m going off on a tangent. Word counts are something that I write about often via the other site. Lolz. :)
:D I wish you the best with your plot, if there’s anything I can do such as writer to writer ranting don’t hesitate to let me know. :) Peace out and happy writing to you as well. I’m sure we’ll both do just fine this NaNo season!
even if the summary doesn’t do the tale justice (to you), it’s certainly intriguing. I like the price = knowledge of her past, and the dilemma of choosing between that and her current situation. It resonates on many levels with my idea (it’s not had a working title of “Tabula Rasa” for nothing, LoL!).
Willow: Gosh, sorry it’s taken me so long to reply but I’ve been seriously out of it lately. :)
Thank you very much. I was really nervous about writing up a summary of any sort just because. :D :D I’m glad you like it, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
