Dollface '09

Angel of death

NaNoWriMo, yes?

Tue Oct 27, 2009, 8:28 PM
Okay, I’m WAY over that swine flu from my last journal (Man, it’s been a while).

Much has happened, =mippins has thrown down the round 3 Exchange gauntlet and ~MasterKagura got her SE with Possum and TK up. So I need to finish my own pair of SEs and post them before the round ends, both are halfway done I just have to get into gear.

On another note I have decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year! My name is the same as on DA, CelestialGold [link] but without – in-between. Add me if you know me, the more reading buddies the merrier!
I’ll encourage you on your work and you can flog me if I try to slink off and be unproductive.

The challenge of writing 50,000 words in one month intrigues me; especially since if I’m successful I’ll have a first draft to present my benefactor with for Christmas. Yay, ulterior motives!
Although for school I’ve got 1 final paper for poetry, 1 final paper for prose, 2 live reading write ups, 2 stories to revise, in addition to regular homework and reading. …hm, I really need to stop putting all of those papers off, the last minute will be here soon enough.
So whether I’ll be able to finish in one month is debatable, that’s the goal but good grades come first.

For those who are interested, here’s some details on the Novel I’ve chosen to scrape together for NaNoWriMo:

Title: End of Days
rather self explanatory and unoriginal, but unless something better hits me upside the head it stays.

Summary excerpt:
All can feel magic fading, and life with it.
The world is dying.
Most accept this fate, knowing all living things must die, having studied the forewarnings of the Prophets of Old, willing to await rebirth into the Everlasting.
However those who wish to fight the End, who share the dream of defying this doomed destiny, gather together to carve a new world out of the flesh of their enemies - the cursed souls born to bring forth the End of Days.
Remedi, a young prophetess, receives a message from the Ancient Divine to find and aid one of the accursed. But can she fulfill her duty when it means the death of the world?

Synopsis: A high fantasy world is coming to its end, and a powerful militant group, the Sol, believes that if they slay those “the wicked” that the world full of only” the righteous” will be allowed to continue. Remedi gets caught up in this mess when she is basically told by God to go out and help a being whose existence is believed to be responsible for the decline in magic – thus the resulting famines, environmental instability, and all around bad times. By aiding this “accursed one” Remedi risks not only her own life at the hands of the Sol, but may be responsible for bringing about the End of Days if she follows through. Not to mention, the “cursed soul” is causing it trouble by being a hero and making himself terribly attractive.

Full of spell-flinging fights, drama, and probably one of the most fatalistic romances ever – I’m hoping for a totally different end-of-the-world story with this novel.

Maybe if people are interested I’ll give some details on the characters, but that’s all for now. :)

Good luck to everyone participating!

Can we improve this picture which is the world? Can it be bettered by removing the tension and the contrast? To remove the struggle and the inevitable end? Remove the black, all of it. Leaves white, only blankness. Is it now the best it can be?

D: We haven't chatted in forever. As I told tira, school needs to cease immediately so we can all hang out again.
