NaNoWriMo

It's almost November! And although I've been trying to get along with creating characters, it is just a little hard to develop even one character without a specific idea for the story in mind. I'm still not sure how to get this inner editor to be quiet because it's so darn sneaky! I have such a hard time ignoring myself. Anyways, I'm trying to remember all the books I liked and why I liked them, but it's a little hard because I seem to only remember reading Redwall and all the other twenty books that go along with it.
I really like the dare machine thing on the website, and I hope that by reading some of the 'dares' I might be able to keep my story more fun and alive than creepy or sad. As I remember some of my favorite books, I can certainly say they were more creative and fun ideas than freaky.
Also, I'm a little torn about the antagonist, I guess I don't know how to create a character like that. But I am still really excited to be writing a novel, because it just seems so ridiculous! (Hopefully it will not be so...)

  1. I remember a lot of those books...I don't think I finished half of them...Taggerung was really good, though. I think the best one was Redwall itself. I don't know...it just seemed more...original.

  2. I so agree on how it's hard to make characters without having a plan for them.

  3. Ah, Redwall. I could argue for a lot of them, but my favorites include the first few: Mossflower, Mattimeo, Redwall, Legend of Luke are all probably up there. But of course my opinion is slightly biased because I know a few of them better than others. However, my favorite of them all is Martin the Warrior. Unfortunately, I could probably talk about Redwall all day.

  4. I feel the dares do help with sprucing things up! Or, you can write different mini scenarios to perhaps get story ideas going. :)
