It Has Begun...

Today is Tuesday November 2. It's officially the second day of NaNoWriMo.

I stayed up late on October 31 just so I could start writing when midnight came. And ten minutes in, I started over. I only wrote half a page, so it's okay, but still. If I'm already starting over in the FIRST TEN MINUTES of NaNoWriMo, it's gonna be a long month.

I need to find a way to silence my Inner Editor.

Maybe I should consider threatening her with throwing her into Lake Superior...

Writing went smoothly for a while, but then I got stuck for a while. And I absolutely hate what I've written so far. It's so wordy and redundant and just horrible. But it's normal. I just have to make my Inner Editor SHUT UP and keep plowing through. I ended up writing a LOT during my Patho lecture, especially after my laptop battery decided to die with an hour remaining in the lecture so all I could do was sit there and listen to her. And the saddest part? I don't think I really missed anything important because all the information we need is in the Power Point, which she gives us a copy of. So yeah. Don't think I missed anything.

The plot is going smoothly with only a few deviations so far from the outline I made, but they're very minor. The three main characters, Keian, Kayden, and Ayden have been introduced so the love triangle can begin. Did I mention that Keian and Kayden are twins? Oh yes, this is going to be interesting. I'm STILL wondering where the fuck my brain came up with the twincest. It's awful and sick and wrong but I'm going with it. I wrote twincest before, but they were the only two people left on the Earth, so they didn't really have a choice. This time they do. What the hell is wrong with me?! Seriously.

The worst part is the blatant lack of description in my novel and when it is there, it's just terrible. *bangs head against desk*

I suppose I should explain things, characters and whatnot. The characters introduced thus far are:

Keian-Prince of the Elves. Younger twin brother of Kayden.
Kayden-Prince of the Elves. Older twin brother of Keian.
Lady Mirai-Mother of Keian and Kayden. Ruler of the Elven kingdom of Kuhala.
Elenar-bodyguard of Keian.
Naharal-bodyguard of Kayden.
Ayden-prince of the human kingdom of Mer. Heir to the throne.
Connor- (only mentioned thus far) Ayden's younger brother.
Rei-Ayden's bodyguard.

So now you know. Those are the characters so far and a little about them. I'll probably add more to them later and stuff. And there are going to be a LOT more characters.

I did figure out the problem I had with my outline. I simply decided to end the book at a different spot, thus eliminating that problem, at least for now. But I'm sure I'll have to revisit it later when I write that book.

All that was yesterday.

Today? Have barely written anything. A paragraph, maybe. But I've been busy with school work. I no longer have clinical since I didn't pass the written medication administration exam so I have no classes on Tuesday, but I'm filling the void with other school work. For instance, today, I finished reading a chapter for my Foundations class and practiced the test-outs on the eyes and ears since I had my test-out today. I did fairly well, by the way. I missed a few things, but I still passed. So that has sucked up the majority of my day, hence why I haven't written anything today. But there's still time. Even though I need to work on making notecards for my upcoming Pharmacology exam. I really have to stop putting things off. It's not healthy.
