apocalypsosI'm officially signed up for NaNo.
I'm working on Gilded, which is the vampires-taking-over-except-not YA story. Well, it's currently YA, although I don't plan on that changing anytime soon. The main character's African-American, which I hadn't decided on when I first started sketching it out but realized I really wanted to do when I watched all that True Blood and figured out that while I'm touch-and-go on Tara, I find Rutina Wesley really really ridiculously pretty and now I can't stop picturing her (well, her at sixteen) as the main character.
It's times like this that I wish I were better at art, because while I do pretty well copying from a photo right in front of me I have a difficult time coming up with drawings from scratch, no matter how vivid the mental image is in my head. 'Cause the mental image in my head is very costume drama/steampunk/Harry Potter/Firefly/what-the-fuck-ever and I honestly cannot even begin to describe what the hell's going on in there without pictures. I just know what I like and I know what I'm writing and I know I'm going to be spending boatloads of time in the next few weeks worldbuilding my PANTS off.
But hey, I've gotten that taken care of. Now to actually, you know, write the damn story come November.
