Week 1 of NanoWriMo · 10:55am Nov 4th, 2016
So week one of NanoWriMo (well almost)
I managed to finished the prologue and the first chapter of the story which culminated in a grand total of 10,000 words. I'm having a lot of fun with it I have to admit this actually doesn't feel like a job for me. There has been a bit of a change of plans though with what I am doing.
Originally I was planning to have "The Haunting of Firevault Asylum" as a MLP:FIM fan fiction. To publish it here, it was meant to be set in Medieval Equestria. Since there is no real canon for that I spent a lot of time making that setting from the ground up. Ending in having something that was only my little pony due to the races, the name of the empire being Equestria, and the capital being named Canterlot.
So ... after a talk with a few friends of mine I have decided that I am replacing the pony races with my own ones. Renaming the land and capital to make the setting wholly my own. As such I can't actually post it on Fimfiction with out getting slapped by one of the lovely mods. Instead I am going to try and actually get it published. (Which to be quite honest I am terrified of)
Why am I terrified? Well, I am not a great writer like say Kkat or Somber, or even Loyal. I'm quite average, I mean I have only been on the side since 18th Jan, 2015 and have only, as of writing, done 8 stories. But I am determined to try this and I honestly hope that I can pull this off, even though I feel like I am not ready to do this.
So to sum up, 4 days into NanoWriMo I have 2 chapters done, and spent 2 days reworking them and the setting to remove most overt pony references. I guess if any of you read it someday there might be somethings you recognise. I am going to be aiming for, roughly, 75,000 words by the end of the month which will be about 7 chapters + a prologue and an epilogue.
I think I have rambled enough, have a nice day my lovelies~
