AN INCREASE IN WORDAGE. B-BUT WHY IS IT SO SLIGHT?
For a person who writes too much, this is pretty pathetic.

Love,
phooey

Post Script -- I'm not sure if the widget thing will work properly.
EDIT: It didn't. <3
EDIT 2: It did. :P

I've managed about 3000 words this month.

Yeah, now I'm thinking about setting much lower-pressure goals. My one for today is 1,000. I'll just be working my way up...

How's your novel going, though? :)

About 130,000 words.

The first three sections plus about 3/4 of the fourth are on yamathespacefish.deviantart.com

How many sections are you planning on having? When did you start up? <3
*goes to see*

Lol, I think I may have to cut my wordcount goal down quite a bit...

There are six of them (Preludes - March - Aubade - Serenades - Nocturne - Requiem) and I've been writing it since 2002. I've had ideas since 1999, but it was vastly different. I wrote an explanation somewhere and I'll dig it up if you want it.

Sure. I took a gander at the very first bit, and there were a whole lot of alternate terms and the like. Is it something that takes place in the future, or a book that's set in an entirely different world?

It's on another world, and I'm wondering if I should downplay it or not.

What specific alternate terms?

Most are probably jut my semi-nonfunctioning brain tiredly chugging along right now. "Djellaba" took a glance and a dictionary.
Mostly it'd be about the government system or a brief history, and maybe even the layout of the countries/cities to better grasp the interrelationships between them. I suppose some of the acronyms will play out later.
I like a lot of the unusual imagery, though. :)

I drew a map once. I'll see if I can find and relabel it. Also, the narrator assumes the reader already has knowledge of the last 5000 years of history and the current state of international relationships.


Anything still isn't clear, just ask.

Haha, it'd be too much of a pain to explain things otherwise, and a really unnatural style of narration. xD

Will do. :3

Yeah, I know. I put infodumps in and deleted them all eventually.

I'm sort of in a blissful mood after I found out that My Little Airport suddenly became popular by Chinese twee pop standards and there's a Batman musical (!?) but Summer_Ceres doesn't have the complete thing. Blast! Oh, well, at least I have an excuse to confiscate any planet destroying rays that Spatula built.

W-WHAT.
There's a such a thing as a Batman musical!? xDDDDDDDDD

Date: 2008-11-13 02:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] yamamanama.livejournal.com
Well, I did some research and the reason she doesn't have the complete thing is because the musical was canceled some time in production and there is no complete thing.
Maybe Bollywood will make something.

By the way, how far are you?

A loss unlike any other. xP
True, true. Or another reality show. (Isn't there that incredibly weird superhero one? .__.)

OH GEEZ. DON'T ASK.

Very, very glad.

Do you think we should start a new thread?

From: [identity profile] bloodred0-4.livejournal.com
Lol, having a little bit of trouble reading those itty-bity one-liners?
Go on ahead. :D

New thread.

When do you find the time to write? I'm not even that busy, but it seems like I'm just swamped with stuff most of the time. :P

Well, it's taken me 6 years, hasn't it?

Whenever I can, basically. I've had more time to do it lately.

Date: 2008-11-14 03:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] bloodred0-4.livejournal.com
Indeed, six years is quite some time. <3
If I ever do get around to finishing anything up... it probably would take just as long to be satisfied with it, haha. Do you still like your novel? Has it changed from what you thought it would be initially? Or did you kind of just start out writing and form a plot later? Are you thinking about sending it to a publisher?

Lol, sorry for the twenty-bekajillion questions. xP

Date: 2008-11-14 03:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] yamamanama.livejournal.com
It's changed a lot. I actually formed a plot before I formed the characters. I like the characters a lot. The plot has a few faults that would require a major overhaul to fix, but I can deal with it.

Yes, I'm going to try to get it published when it's done. June 2010 is my goal.

From: [identity profile] bloodred0-4.livejournal.com
Cool. :3
What made you decide to write a novel in the first place? For me, I guess I'd been wanting to for quite some time. I love writing.

Mm, best of luck~!

I don't know what inspired it. A mix of things.

I don't know whether crap for crap getting published makes me want to continue writing because I can do better or give up.

Date: 2008-11-15 10:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] bloodred0-4.livejournal.com
:)

Lol, me either. I suspect it'll make me want to continue, but I'm not certain if that would extend to trying to get other things published as well...

Date: 2008-11-17 04:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] yamamanama.livejournal.com
Yeah, I'm continuing. Anyway... um, enjoying it so far?

Whoo, late reply. I've been quite pressed for time lately (busy week!), but keep reminding me, and I'll be sure to read more. It has a certain aura of intrigue about it... :3
here is the deepest secret nobody knows...
