Writing Month--November 2010

Another year, another NaNoWriMo. Lat year was another unofficial year apparently, but I typed 7649 words. Not great, but better then I did on 2008. Hopefully this year I will do better.

As for my projects this year, once again SPW is in there. I went back and have been working on creating the definitive version of the show and working on creating the Wrestleverse as well. There were a lot of early stories that didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, so I'm going through and re-writing them or in some cases removing them all together (at one point 5 Alarm had 3 different storylines all going at the same time and all three suffered as a result) I'm also introducing new characters and some new companies to the Wrestleverse. Plus with this reboot of sorts I can go through and get character and title histories, at least as far as the time after the start of SPW is concerned.

I am also working on a series called "Phoenix". It is a spin off of sorts from Fantasy, starting here. It is about a cyborg that uses a mystical artifact to stop his creator from taking over earth. should be fun. I have it plotted out to 5 volumes at the moment, but am focusing on Vol.1 at the moment. the plot changes with each volume (at least a bit) but that is the plot for the first one. Who knows. maybe I will get really ambitous and write everything I planned to this year as well as start Vol.2

In addition to all that, I might work on some site re-design and I have to finish this years Halloween story. I started it but didn't get far before I had to stop for pumpkin carving (pics will be up soon hopefully) The site re-design is more site creation the re-design, but I will talk about that more when I actually get it done.

Finally, with no new games coming out that I am looking forward to (or more accurately that I can afford) there shouldn't be many distractions from those. Just Smackdown VS Raw 2011, maybe some Left 4 Dead and Red Dead Redemption and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Lots of games, but they all tell fairly decent stories, so I consider them more research then wastes of time.


Update: 11/1 Word Count: 0. Post is up. Time to get writing. There will be no distrac....Oooo. Sci Fi movies all day on AMC and Top Gun at 7. Doctor Who marathon on SyFy and Psych Marathon on Sleuth. Damn

Update: 12/1 Word Count: 1352. Well, could have been worse. Could have been better. NaNoWriMo is over and I wrote 1352 words :( And they weren't even in a completed project. They were from about 5 different unfinished projects! On the bright side, at least I got an official word count in this year and I am officially a participant this year! And there is a House marathon on Slueth today to cheer me up. YAY!!!!

NaNoWriMo 2009 Is Over!

NaNoWriMo is done! In the end I wrote 7649 words and got an entire month of SPW action done. Not that great, but not bad either. And, if I remember right, it is the most I've ever written during NaNoWriMo! The first year I wrote 26,000 or so words, but those were all re-writes. I was re-writing my old stuff, so there wasn't that much work involved. so this is the most I've written during NaNoWriMo that was original!

Officially I only wrote 5830 words. Unfortunately I forgot that the cut off for updating your word count was at 11:30, and I got my final word count at 11:31 :( Oh well. At least I know what my word count was.

I will be posting that stuff probably this week some time, and for the full summery of the past month, here is the link of the log I kept.

Writing Month--November 2009

It's been over 2 years since I did one of these (August 2007 to be exact) and since it is National Novel Writing Month again, I thought I would do another one!

Last years NaNoWriMo didn't go that well. In fact if you click on my profile for NaNoWriMo it shows I didn't even participate. With moving and trying to find a new place, I didn't get much done or a word count uploaded. I participated, just not officially.

This year should be better. I am working on 2 projects. The first, Demon's Gate, is a new project I came up with a couple of days ago. it is about a guy who is trying to rescue his girlfriend after she is kidnapped by a mysterious organization. Might not sound like enough for a novel, and you would be right. I figure by the time I am done it should be at about 21,000 words. If you know me, you know I can come up with a good story with a simple premise like that, and I think the one I came up with will be fun to write and to read. and if you like the Double Dragon games, you will like it since they kind of inspired the storyline.

I will also be working on SPW. I am almost done with a PPV, and that will start the second week of September 2008. I probably won't post anything (or any of the stuff I already have done but haven't posted) until next month simply because updates like that take time and that is time I should be typing. and by typing I of course mean watching TV and playing video games. Stupid cable guys are coming tomorrow, which means I have to put off putting off writing so I can watch a show till tomorrow :( Damn them for denying me that excuse. Now I will have to rely on Call Of Duty: World At War and Smackdown VS Raw 2010!


Update: 11/4 Word Count: 0. I posted this!

Update: 11/12 Word Count: 1613. Finished HOH: A Date With Death. ready to start on the second week of SPW programming from September 2008.

Update: 11/17 Word Count: 3090. Finished week 2 and booked the rest of the month. Dragonstar is shaping up nicely. Some changed I made to the way I write the shows will make the rest of the month easier, and the build up to Fright Night even easier.

Update: 11/21 Word Count: 4396. Finished another week of SPW action. Just 2 more shows till Dragonstar.

Update: 11/25 Word Count: 5830. SPW August 2008 is done is done! Got Dragonstar 9 booked (Usually leave promos till last, so still had to book those) and will start working on it in a bit.

Update: 11/30 Word Count: 7649. Dragonstar 9 is done!And it is 11:31 PM. I could keep working, but I think I'm going to call it. Expect a summary tomorrow some time.
