wyntir_knightThis should be the last NaNo update (save for the "I Won" or "I didn't make it" post). I am over three quarters of the way in and I've realized that the story isn't working as it is, and so, I'm starting over. Kind of. Everything that I've written so far is background and there may be some glimmers of scenes that will be usable in this story and in the eventual sequels. I've finally decided on my setting and my time period, and I've come to realize that the changes that I've made to history, do actually work out well. I want this to be set in the early 1900s, but it's a steampunk world where the Solar Storm of 1859 had a far longer ranging effect on the world, and society is far different than the history in the real world. Now that I know when and where and how the world works I can continue with my story. So the remaining 10K of NaNo will be spent plotting out my story and, hopefully, creating a nicely scary and gothic story. With air ships. And psionics. And cyberpunk style implants and augmentations. And magic. And Old Ones. And metahuman races. ... Apparently my Gothic Horror is actually an Urban Fantasy.
And once NaNo is over, I'll start focusing on the fanfictions that have fallen by the wayside.

On another note, I've joined Weight Watcher's and so far it's going well, though I have come to the realization that I'm obsessed with food. I mean, I can avoid buying the crap I know I shouldn't eat, and I have no problem ordering a salad or something else a shade more healthy at a restaurant. But none of that changes the fact that I'm obsessed. I mean, I look at the LCBO catalogue like it's literal food porn, and I read every label on all foods I consider eating. You know, someone once said that people who are trying to lose weight are like addicts. "Hi, I'm Rose and I'm a foodaholic". But unlike members of AA, we can't go cold turkey. Not if we don't want to starve.
Still though, it's going well. 3.5 pounds down, 12.5 to go. I'll deal with the rest after the first 15 are gone.
