I decided to do Nanowrimo (http://nanowrimo.org). I haven't planned much. I also took few notes. I mainly took notes about characters: mainly their names and their relationships between themselves. For the rest, I have commited it in my mind. I have a few ideas for scenes and explanations. Until now, it had done well. But I think I will takes brief notes for the end, to be sure not to forget them.
I have encountered a few snags until now. I want the plotline and the explanations to be cohesive. So, there a few places where I felt a little bit stuck. I had to leave my mind do the work. I am lucky to be in a creative mood. I fould solutions to every problems I got. I just hope to have a lucky vein and to go further on.
With what I wrote yesterday, I think I will have to do a trilogy. Yesterday, I hinted to a unknown top secret research that I haven't talk anywhere else. I had written one story about psychic powers research gone wrong. It wasn't a great text. I will have to revise or rewrite the whole thing. I was fun to write, anyway. Now, I am writing about another top research gone wrong but there is more collateral damage than the first one. So, my present story is about beings created that have some zombies traits, look similar to Stargate Atlantis' Wraiths and they have a few particularities of their owns. I also makes a lot of reference to the first story on psychic powers. With what I wrote yesterday, I would have an idea for next year nanowrimo about a third top secret research. So, now, I think that all those three projects witll be linked together in some ways.
So, here my plan for the rest of the month: I will finish my current story. Most of my energy will go for that. It goes well right now. I have taken a bit of advance, so it is a good sign. I am inspired and it good as smoothly as it can. I just have to get a bit more discipline to write when I plan to. I have to work to limit my distractions. I am happy to do well even with the distractions, just to find a way to be more efficient than I am now.
Now, I also do have a plan for after nanowrimo madness. As I now have an idea for next year's nanowrimo, I will have to develop that starting from December onward. I will have to leave my mind do some working on the plot and what I want to do with this story. Meanwhile, I will have to develop the main character. Right now, in the story I am doing, he is only a supporting character. He have already a name and a few attibutes. After nanowrimo, I will have to expand his character. He will have a more active role in the future. I want an interesting character.
It is amazing, sometimes, where inspiration can lead me to the unexpected. I also realise that I am more passionate on my writing than I thought!
