Hee, first post! 
So, I’ve decided to recreate my old blog here at Tamayorihime.com, mostly in preparation for the upcoming immensity that is NaNoWriMo. For those of you not familiar with the project it’s a writing challenge that pretty much dares you to write 50,000 words during the month of November. I’ve been sat on the sidelines as friends tried it out and have decided to give it a go, myself. God knows why, I do remember the rediculous amounts of stress and caffeine that was involved with the NaNo experience…
It’s not just the taking part that’s a new experience for me, though, the concept of planning ahead is mostly alien to me since whenever I write little stories it’s more of an off-the-cuff affair, writing as and when the inspiration strikes, so to speak. It’s a fun way to write, but it sometimes leaves me twiddling my thumbs wondering where to take a plot next and with 50,000 words to write in 30 days (probably less as I have other shiz to do, man) I can hardly afford to do that. My problem is going to come from keeping the writing momentum up, because when I flop I stop. (HURRHURRHURR)
HOWEVER. I do actually have an idea, which is surprising since ideas and me? Not down with the haps. Not ever. I suppose that would be because this is an idea that’s been rattling around in my head for a while now, and I’ve been itching for an excuse to do something with it, and now’s my opportunity! I won’t write too much about it now because honestly I haven’t pinned down the outline enough to be comfortable doing so, but as I write I shall post exerpts, stresses and hilarious typos that are bound to happen when trying to power through an inevitably rough first draft…
Stay tuned for moar stresses and the like from me. Sob.
