100 Day Challenge - Day 4

I didn't do anything with the 100 day Challenge today because I had an exam. Afterwards I didn't feel like thinking about anything really. Perhaps tomorrow I'll try and write two pages. I just was tired and didn't really feel like it today.

100 Day Challenge - Day 3

So...it's getting to that point. Work and exams are hanging around every corner and I'm wondering how to keep this story under my sleeve. I pushed...and I pulled...and I wrote one more page. So I now have 2 pages written. If I could just spit out a page a day, I would definately reach the goal. Since these seem so short, I decided I'd place an excerpt from what I've written so far. So here goes:

Page 1
"Ellinia was a town built high in the trees of a magical forest. It was the town of the wizards. The people got along well, but there was not much change of scenery. The small houses built around the trunks of trees were connected by a myriad of rope bridges. Dakota knew where each of the bridges led and had traveled all over the city. He was prohibited from going down to the ground because there were dangerous monsters there."

Page 2
"If she had lived, he would have a family. He would have someone to worry about him when he didn't return at supper call. He would have someone to fuss with his unruly hair and make comments such as "a family of squirrels could live right here". He would have someone who always smelled like dandylions and who's smile could light up a room. He could have someone...who loved him"

So I hope those were some teasers of how my writing is going. Ta-ta!

100 Day Challenge - Day 2

Today i wrote the first page of the story. It's going to be hard because there's something in me that is never satisfied with my writing. So I have a notebook and I'm just going to keep pushing on. Then when I've filled it, I will type it up and then make changes and things to it. I'm still pretty excited about this challenge. It still scares the crap out of me, but it's interesting seeing it a day at a time. So hence closes Day Two.

100 Day Challenge: Day 1

So, today Carmen and I decided to start a 100 day challenge. Our goal? We hope that 100 days from now that we both will finish a completed copy of our first books. These two books will be complements of each other.

To start out we have developed characters and some of their back-stories. Carmen started working on a cover design for the books. We got some planning of what is going to happen in the first book and some of the things surrounding the story. I'm kind of nervous about this because I've never really written anything this long. I hope that I can pull this off. Day 1 was successful. Now we will just have to make sure it keeps going.

Until tomorrow...
