Planning & Writing (Day 1)

I've been planning this thing for quite some time. If you count the last time I ventured into that particular world, I suppose you could say it's been three years in planning. It'd mostly be a lie, though. I completely forgot about it since then.

I'm not sure what made me remember it, but it clicked. It clicked so very hard. Like someone was holding a computer mouse up to my eardrums and clicking it rapidly (please don't try this at home). I just knew, I knew it would be awesome to give it another go. And so I did. I've been planning the general story, some of the characters, and some of the subplots.

But they aren't really subplots. They're more like short stories, contained to themselves, but in line with the overall tone and story of the place. And I finally figured I had enough planned to get to writing. Last night I wrote a short paragraph, and today a longer part of the story, both hilariously out of context, but both to be used in some form or another in the actual thing.

So I started writing. And it's going splendidly. I'm up to 1000 words right now, just taking a short break to type this up. No one will ever read it, but I figured I'd keep track of how I'm doing. I'll try to update every day, but I fear I'll forget all about this blog-thing and carry on without it. But I figure it's not the worst thing to try. If somone happens to read it at least I've got a goal to achieve. Write a book so fantastic, so amazing that the one person to stumble across my recording of myself would like to read it.

That is all for now. Have a fine evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Edit: Finished up for today at 1005 words. Progress!
