Melody and Lyra have shared a body for over 20 years, and they're doing great... until Lyra is stolen from under their skin. Melody teams up with Lyra's girlfriend Annie (who had no idea Melody exists), and an angel to go on an awkward rescue road trip.

Me: More plot, plz?
My brain: Hmmm... Best I can do is 5 new characters that fit perfectly into existing plots.
I have an outline that maaaaaaybe covers only half of book one. My worldbuilding is full of holes I'm still actively patching. Half my characters don't even have names. The first two chapters plus about 5k of random scenes have been drafted thus far. What is even happening???
08.12.2023 04:53 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This story is itching to be written in weird ways. I'll write backstory, but then I'll get an idea for the outline and work on that for a bit, but then a scene or chapter will demand to be written, so I'll do that. Who knows how this'll look in the end...?

...neither of my nano projects are high fantasy...
:(
The story I'm dabbling in is insisting on being written in 3rd person omniscient, present tense. I have never written anything in omniscient before, and I prefer my 3rd person to be past.
?????
Looking for a new job while also trying to complete nanowrimo is a special kind of hell...
07.11.2023 13:20 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Agreed!
And these two are so snarky to each other, but it's how they show they care and I love them so much...!
The WIP I'm dabbling in when my weird one isn't flowing is about two people who are in deep friend-love with each other (zero romantic feelings toward each other at any point in the story), and their dynamic has been so fun to write!

Wow, rude.
Just reread my outline for my nanowrimo project and it's already changed so much in my head vs what's written down. Uh oh...
