NaNo’ing in Berkeley.
Just a little update, I’m in Berkeley visiting some good friends of mine.
Maiki and I are participating in NaNoWriMo, and actually are both writing a story in a fictional world we created. (More maiki’s than mine.) We’re posting our stories up on a blog we made specifically for this. See the banner on the right to check it out. My story is the one tentitively titled “Skyships and Tech Chips.” We’re posting our content as we write it, so it isn’t a finished product or anything. It’s a good way for each of us to keep an eye on each other, and make sure we’re making those entries.
When we’re finished, I believe we’re going to take a month to edit our stories, then use a print-on-demand book printing company like Lulu to print our work, and make an actual book out of it. It won’t be a “Lord of the Rings” or anything (or will it?!?!), but it should be an entertaining read anyway. We’re also releasing our story under a Creative Commons license, allowing for derivative works with attribution and share-alike.
Ok, now I need to get to work on todays 1,666 words! I realized last night, reading through what I’d written, that I rushed a scene. Today’s work is mostly going to be fleshing that out more.
