National Novel Writing Month is nearly upon us!
Continuing with my renewed love for short stories, I’m “rebelling” this year and producing a collection. No, its not PAaA. This collection will follow a character I’ve been developing since this August, a fellow named Pryce. The stories will be adventure fantasy tales set around the world and through this guy’s life. Woohoo!
My goal for NaNo is to write at least ten shorts. I haven’t completed short stories in a while, and I’m hoping to come up with a few salvageable pieces to submit to magazines and boost up visibility. Plus, it’d be pretty swell to have my work in print!
Pryce is a fun character to write about. He could be a villain if twisted in the right direction, or if he went through certain situations. It could be fun, writing about the progression of a person to villainy. Hmm…perhaps I have my overarching theme.
I’m ditching my first idea (Dark Age Fantasy) and taking an old idea from the bottom of my (mental) trunk and giving it the NaNo push into the real world. Hopefully it will be longer than 50K, so NaNo will be only the beginning, as it was for last year NaNo.
