17th June 2008.
Oh Goodness it's been a while. I suppose I'll have to put it down to laziness, really, and lack of motivation and interesting facts to write in this thing... Let's see, what's happened since February?
A lot of writing, for one.
On April 8th 2008, I finally finished Pride, my NaNoWriMo novel from waaaaay back in 2005. I was so proud of myself! The ending was something I've been thinking about for a very, very long time, and so to finally get it finished was a great relief, and to be honest I'm glad I'm rid of it. It's definitely time to move on from that novel for a long while, and I don't even think I'll bother to edit it. My characters went from 2D to 3D, to unsure, to 2D, 3D... Dear goodness. I got so confused. I think I ended on a high note though, so that's that.
I'm also taking part in the Gaian SuWriMos (Summer Writing Months) again this year, and during my exams I had the biggest idea ever. It's a fantasy, almost a moral tale about obsessions, and the thin line between good and evil. I had the luxury of going to see Wicked at the London Apollo Victoria Theatre, in London, on April 23rd, and I loved it so much I went again on May 29th. My sister and I got loads of autographs (though, sadly, we missed the lead Kerry Ellis because she was ill. She's in Broadway now, for six months), and I also read the book Wicked, by Gregory Maguire. It was so inspirational.
So, on the novel: I started on June 2nd, and the idea is that I'll continue writing in a NaNoWriMo until the 31st of August. As of tonight I'm already on 53k, which is fantastic- though I'm beginning to think the novel is going to be longer than I anticipated. at first I thought 100k, like all of my other novels have been, but like I said: I'm already at 53k, and I'm probably only a third of the way through the storyline. That leads me to think that I've got a monster epic on my hands. And, of course, it's another trilogy: the first novel is from Calina's point of view. She's supposed to be the good guy. The second novel is from Medina's point of view. She's purple and supposed to be the bad guy. And finally the third novel is from a more neutral point of view. Big project, no?
Bah. I have very little else to talk about, besides writing and Wicked (since that's all my life consists of... I'm such a boring person) I've done nothing else... Well, nothing that I can remember after a few months. Except my exams. I did those, and probably failed, but that's just as boring. I'll stop.
