Yeah, so after a couple years of wanting to do it but not being able to actually do it, I'm finally taking a swing at doing National Novel Writing Month. I figured I might as well post it here to see if anybody was interested. The story itself is based on some worldbuilding ideas that have been floating around in my head since college and this is largely an attempt to get something down on paper. Or on computer, I guess.
The short version is that it's a sort of fantasy adventure thing, but it starts of kinda slice-of-life ish because I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. Right now it's largely in the "introducing characters and setting" stage, so the larger plot will kick in before long. Also, because the point of NaNoWriMo is simply "write 50,000 words in November", it means that I'm mainly just word barfing rather than actually trying to do any editing, so this is very unpolished even by my standards. That said, I'd actually appreciate it if anybody would leave questions about any character or setting things that you have as you read, just so I can keep it in mind and not forget the stuff completely. And also because this is actually an original work, I'm just interested in what people think about it. Maybe later I'll add like a plot summary or character list or something, but for now I'm just going to post a link.
So:
Day 1: ~3,200 words.
