Tonight around 9:30 PM I see the inside of re:Store's Storage room for the last time (I hope). Funny, yesterday I received my October Salary and it was more than I ever got there. Which means, even more than in the early months this year in which I got a full payment.
I'm not saying, I don't deserve a better pay - but why do they start right after I quit?

My idea for my NaNoWriMo novel is just not getting finished. I start writing tomorrow, and whenever I try to end the story it simply gives me another chapter, another important plot detail which has to be discovered, another information about how things work in this (very low fantasy) world... It feels like the story is trying to tell itself. I'm not really needed.
And I haven't even started writing yet! How is this going to feel, once I'm in the middle of the plot and have only a few days left for telling the rest?
I'll be writing the end as it comes, I assume. And I'm not even sure how it's going to end. So many possibilities!
Although, I'm afraid my "novel" will be a rather boring read because what it really is about is a man, a couple of bears and snow. There's tons of stuff happening, but no world moving events or anything of the like. It's just fight for survival - and (hopefully) 50.000 words of it =)
But I'm really looking forward to "getting something on the paper", no matter what.

I'll be posting my chapters in this my dreamwidth blog, after they went through Beta reading performed by Ten.

At least my posts will be shorter then, I won't have much energy left to write an entry when I leave my word processor after 5 hours of frustrating typing.

I was talking about writing again in my last post - Ten convinced me today, that I should participate in NaNoWriMo. In the beginning I was thinking about writing down the story of our RPG group. That would have been a "novelized" version of our current fading suns adventure or the story how it was originally supposed to happen in another system.

Then he said something.
Axys came running into the kitchen, jumped onto the windowsill and stretched his nose as far out of the half-open window as he could to get a little more of the chill autumn air from outside. And Ten said: "I wonder if they actually DO smell something on the wind…"
This set my creative process in motion and I immediately thought of a foggy, cool november morning on which a slender man in a loincloth stands on a hilltop, a spear stuck in the ground at his side. He stands his watch, staring at the gigantic forest on the horizon and in a chill draft of air he notices the smell of winter. And also something else...

I only hope to make the 50.000 words in time.
