Blog #12: Thoughts on New Writings
Hello, long time no blog. My little break did recharge me though, and hopefully I will get back to writing more (blog or stories).
I tried to do NaNoWrimo this November, and let me just say it was a total failure. But it was good it happened! It steered me in a different direction and let me plan a story. Going into NaNo I really had no idea for a story, and I’ve never sat and tried to write something without a foundation for what I was writing. I had planned out the story for Gone Tree for a few years, and just had to put it on paper. I wrote Pill Bottle Romance over a year, with a general story outline and just building on top of that.
So, me being unable to write on the whim wasn’t terribly shocking. So I ended up just stopping writing, because my mind was just so blank with no ideas. I just couldn’t figure out what to do, and I knew I wanted it to fit in the Romance category. But what the Hell did that even mean?
The end of November, about the 29th or so and long after NaNoWrimo was about to end, the idea came to me one night.
I was having one of my usual bouts of insomnia, and I was tossing and turning, thinking over life and projects. Where I wanted my life to go. And that’s when my mind fell on my writing prompt I had started for Nano that had gone nowhere. I’d still keep it a Romance novel, but what if I added fantasy elements? Fantasy in modern times with: Healers, Dark Magic, Tanks (I’m using the WoW term to use for those with strength until I come up with something better), arranged marriages, but in a modern setting with technology and such. I also finally had an idea for the main character, and who the love interest would be and his role as well. I’ve even figured out the “conflict” and such. Now, I still need to piece it all together and do some research but I’m super excited.
Researching specific types of magic, and how it works will be my next step. I’ve never had to do a ton of research for my former works because I was drawing from personal experience. This, I’ll need to read up on magic and how it’s harnessed.
Hopefully I’ll have more updates for you in future blogs, but I’m sure this will take a good amount of time.

Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with
experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem
to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue
or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post
to let you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks
I always spent my half an hour to read this web site’s content every day along with a
cup of coffee.

to this subject, produced me for my part consider it from a
lot of numerous angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be fascinated unless it’s something to accomplish with
Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. Always take care of it up!
It’s hard to come by educated people about this topic, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking
