Only this day and tomorrow to go before my first-ever NaNoWriMo. I'm excited. I'm also a little terrified.
On Wednesday, me and Liberté held a brainstorming session which turned out pretty good for both of us. I have a conflict (sort of) and her characters have names and backstories. Progress! I also have seven pages of notes in my Dust Saga notebook and half of a prophecy.
(Yes, there will be a prophecy, because what is a fantasy story without a prophecy? Of course it has to be in form of rhymed poetry, which causes a little struggle for me, since neither rhymes nor poetry are my friends. But what wouldn't I do for my story.)
There are moments, like right now, when I can't wait to start. Then there are moments when I think "What have I got myself into? I'm never going to make it!" But mostly I can't wait to start. I'm so excited about my story that I want it written down.
This is the first time in forever that I actually and truly believe I can finish a novel. It would be a first. So let's hope I'm right.
