Ready for NaNoWriMo, My Dears?

I'm not. 


I don't even have my scenes planned out, but you know what? I'm writing anyways, and so far I like where it's going. 


I'm writing about a princess, Jaz, from a land called Cannes, who for the position as Captain of her kingdom's army, goes behind her father's back and escorts her sister, Ellia, to an enemy king in Elmes who wishes to have Ellia as his queen or else he will annihilate Cannes.
But when they meet an Elmesian, Eian, who hides his face and works dark magic, tensions arise between the sisters and Jaz's best friend, Sari, as this mysterious stranger steals Ellia's heart and sets his sights on Jaz.  Eian always gets what he wants.


Just a rough summary. Exciting huh.


In other news I've decided to take a break from my beloved Sable, but just for my NaNoWriMo 'vacation' I feel a little guilty when I see it moping about in my hard-drive when I go to click on other projects, but we both needed the break. I was ready to chuck my Mac out the window from the frustration.


Edgebrook is going good, I tossed most of the first third of my plot and just winged it, letting my characters drive the story for a while and I really like where it's taking me. Very exciting. I should finish my first third for my assignment in the next few days. I was worried about letting my instructor see my first draft with all the typos and crappy prose, but I've decided not to let it bother me. I'm a fast first-drafter and that means lots of errors. Lots.


I'm excited, and I hope I'll manage to finish another novel for NaNoWriMo by my birthday this year! November 30th! The last day for NaNos and my first day as an adult. 18! Eeep! Well almost an adult anyways. 


Ooo, and check out those nifty little progress bars over there nice huh?
