NaNoWriMo Day 4 & 5

I have hit a wall. Splat. Granted, I'm still in a better shape than I was last year when I was 8000 words behind on the 5th day because of not yet starting...but I quite deflated on Day 4 because I was only able to write 600 words that day. Day 5 went the same because of feeling down from Day 4, and I also decided that I should probably take out 900 words of my aimless writing (I moved it around though and stuck it at the end for deleting during the editing process, so I haven't removed it completely yet). I find my original writing so very boring. I currently can't seem to get myself excited about the story. Maybe a different beginning would help... but gahhh, this is exactly the type of stuff I'm not supposed to be thinking about during NaNoWriMo. Maybe I need a different mindset for this, since I feel like it took so much out of me to write 6k of original story when it doesn't feel like all that much when I write fanfic... I'm probably just stressing myself out. :'D

The plot is making itself a bit clearer to me now though. I just have to... get around to it.

I am happy that it's Daylight Savings this weekend. One extra hour! XD

Yu Wo posted teaser #6 yesterday, the last teaser for LSK. Grisia is so despicable in it, gosh. (Well, when the 8th rolls around, at least I get to happily buy LSK v8 even if my NaNo ends in disaster. XD;).

NaNoWriMo Day 6

Well, I managed today's word count, but I haven't made up for the past two days yet! Still, there's hope! I'm just floored by my writing buddies who've already written over 20k. I'm looking at you, absolutehymn007 and nitaspitas. =P

I've been needing to open my NaNo from last year as reference since my main character this time was also featured in last year's NaNo (but not exactly as the main character). Trying to get details about him straight isn't as easy as I thought it'd be! I wonder if his characterization even feels the same. (For one, he's not throwing around the word "lord" as much as he did last year... but maybe he'll do that more later).

Well, here's the very boring prologue that almost made me want to stop writing. XD; It rambled a lot, so I decided to cut it down by 900 words. I feel beginnings should have more momentum, but I've failed hard at that!

Whee, widget! It wasn't showing up for me before, but now it is! I have so many yellow boxes littered through mine... *mopes*

Non NaNo stuff:

-Nisekoi has begun! New manga by Komi Naoshi (mangaka of Double Arts). I'm not too fond of the premise of his new series unlike how I was very interested in Double Arts right off the bat, but I'm excited he has something new running. Now I also kind of wish I'd said that I would nominate Double Arts for yuletide. Hm, it's not too late, is it...

-received an email from Kingstone about the fact that Legend of Sun Knight volume 8 is going to be out very soon. XD; Why thank you, Kingstone. :D *looks forward to the release even more* Opening my email to a huge picture of Grisia? LOVE.
