Photography / Sky

So I was just going through some of the photos I just uploaded to my computer and I decided I would post something on here. Anyway, I have this slight obsession with taking photos of the sky, sometimes in combination with other things, so here are my favourites.

Writing Plots

So, despite my last post, I'm going to put my cyborgs aside and fully plot out my NaNoWriMo novel. I finally decided on the novel I'm writing, which was a plot that I've had for about six months in my mind. I tried writing a few chapters a couple of months ago and liked where it was going but didn't have time to pursue it. I'm going to ditch the chapters I've already written though, and re write them with the new ideas I have developed for this story.

Again, it's Dystopian. I find myself going through quite an obsession. Oh well, I'm enjoing all things Dystopian and I'm not quite ready to move on yet.

Ah, I'm so keen for November. I'm looking forward to the forum reset for NaNo, so I can really start talking about this year and not be surrounded by 2011 posts. I found someone who I have a lot in common with to be a Writing Buddy for this year so I'm really looking forward to seeing how that goes. I think it'll help me be a little more motivated, and take November a little more seriously.

Rewriting...

About a year ago, maybe even a year and a half ago, I started writing a novel called 'The Outsiders'. It's a dystopian novel, because of the current phase I'm going through, about I wrote about 30,000 words in a big writing spaz I went through. Then I got bored and put it aside got bored and put it aside for a while so work on numerous other things that were much more pressing at the time. I started to work on it again a few months ago, got it up to 50,000 and then stopped writing again.

I was sick of what I was writing because it had a plot that had just started to fall apart and I kind of wanted to kick it to death for lack of originality. Now, a few days ago, I got a new idea for the story and decided to start again.

Now, for the first time ever, I am going to brave the world of COMPLETE REWRITING! I've re-designed a lot of the characters an rebuilt the main plot into a dystopian cyborg story. At currently 50,000 words, my estimate is that about 25,000 are actually useable but at least I have something that I can start with.

It's currently September and I am on school holidays for two weeks, and I'm aiming to have this finished (first draft at least) before November 1st because November is the month that I will devote to NaNoWriMo and a completely new project that is undecided at the current point of times

Ideally, I might even have the first draft done in two weeks, because I would really like to devote the majority of October to NaNoWriMo planning and of course, actual NaNoWriMo writing in November, before I start the editing on 'The Outsiders' in December.

So, now I'm off to start Re-Writing and I really hope that Dystopian Cyborgs serve me much better then the mess that I've currently got.
