... and I've not really reached the place I wanted to reach in my story (they're still in lunar orbit). But I think I made a good attempt at it. At least I have a good start to a story, that I will definitely want to work on in the future. Not that I've given up just yet on it now, but I have my doubts whether I will reach the goal by the end of the month. I could blame a certain person for being too distracting, but that's just an excuse, I have had plenty of time to write. I only lacked inspiration and motivation for that particular story, not time or focus.
Aside from NaNo, I've been working on a sort of superhero story, based on autobiographical elements and in the setting of a small village and a 'special' family. I want to try to create a combination of my usual stories and the more conventional superhero stories. Writing about superpowers in a familiar setting, treating those abilities in a way that would be normal for me and others like me. I'll try to avoid the villain vs. hero aspect of the stories (mainly by having a more fluid good vs evil dichotomy: in other words, antagonists are not necessarily evil, just opposed to the goals of the protagonists), though I will keep some traditional superhero elements as suits my desires and needs: it is my story after all.
My third creative project, that of the crossover fanfiction, is also still a work in progress. It's my plan to, when it's finished, release it on as many online sites as possible and allow anyone to read it, for free (since I cannot sell it anyways). I hope that this will provide me with publicity necessary to sell my current and future published work. People can both find out about me and get an idea of my writing style and quality. At the very least, I'll get some feedback which will help me improve future stories.
Finally, I'm trying to keep my other projects alive and I keep hoping someone else will buy "Running" from Lulu. One copy already has been bought and many people have congratulated me on publishing, so I can only hope that it's only a matter of time before the next copy is bought (I've linked to it on this blog already).
Anyways, don't forget to comment if you want to read my stories and more updates will come soon.
