#novelnovember — Public Fediverse posts

Haven't figured out how to celebrate finishing #NovelNovember tonight. It's a schoolnight, so not cracking open a bottle of bubbly and haven't a beer to crack open either. Might finish watching #Heat!

So, I guess NovNov is what we are calling the successor to NaNoWriMo...

I was on a cruise for most of the month. But, there are interesting videos and events that were recorded and I am catching up on.

Hopefully I will be able to participate next year. Hopefully it was a success and will return.

Does anyone have any observations or experiences they want to share from this one?

Shadowed Memories concentrated on a big horror author, Klive Emmons. While a mysterious doctor pulled up memories that had been long forgotten, or hidden away, his grip on reality was shaken. Horrors that he believed to only exist in nightmares began to haunt him, while the path to freeing himself from the pursuing invaders of his life seemed out of reach. In the end he finds an inner strength he didn’t know was there and manages to overcome the ordeal with some help, although his survival is not without tragedy.

In September I published Shadowed Memories Part 2, finishing the psychological horror tale that I started with Part 1 in 2019. I’m now working on a sequel that takes place about a year later that I’m currently calling Shadowed Memories: Dark Shadow. The dust has settled and our lead characters are still dealing with the aftermath in the form of mental scars. At the same time there’s a new spiritual movement that has seen growth globally, claiming to grant blessings of luck and protection to its adherents. Something sinister lurks just beneath the surface of their faith.

The streets vibrate with life. Quiet is but a faded dream while walking around in the big city. Thoughts are hard to hold onto when engines growl around every corner, crawling over the shuffling of people along the crowded sidewalks. Skyscrapers pierce the horizon, yet the sun skips its rays across steel and glass, causing some surfaces to sparkle while others become bright and eye blistering. There’s an intermingling of scents, both pleasant and foul, that threaten to further scramble the senses of those with heightened olfactory receptors. It’s here where something that doesn’t belong lurks, walking the streets donning a pair of shades, blocking out the noise with music humming in through oversized headphones. Following the flow of moving bodies, while trying to keep his composure, is the fiend hunter trapped in another world.

On that, I'm curious what happens next. When it comes to #NaNoWriMo / #NovelNovember / #WritingMonth, have you:

Me finishing this #WritingMonth is by no means a sure thing, especially as I have a week of business travel at the end of the month which could easily knock me off my game, but this is the best crack at it I've ever managed.

I'm wondering if I should sit down and read what I've written in one sitting at some point before I finish. Have any of ye grafters that've managed to finish this process tried that while ye were writing it? or only when ye finished?

I will say that I have changed my mind about some minor details and holding myself back from revising is making me twitch a bit, but I have limited bandwidth and am struggling to keep up with a positive burndown as it is, so not gonna fall farther behind rewriting what I've written.

Thanks to @b4ux1t3 for telling me about the site.

I got the "Locked in Gear" badge for a full week of writing, from ProWritingAid. Here's to more story work! I've got my music going (enjoying this J-rock band I just found through Tiktok called Espirit D'Air), stuffed myself with calories, and I'm here sipping a caffeinated beverage. It's time to dive into this crazy urban fantasy world.

Just some calories before I write.

Rewatching Inuyasha with my wife has got me playing the second ending theme in my head on repeat. 🥰 It also has me jamming out to anime tunes while writing. They may not fit the Urban Fantasy vibe of my current work, but that's just fine. They tickle my brain in the right way.

Where does inspiration come from? Everywhere and everything. It’s in the things we see around us, and in the conversations we have. It’s in the things we read, media we watch, and games we play. I’m heavily inspired by the works of the great horror novelist Hideyuki Kikuchi, more specifically the ongoing Vampire Hunter D series as well as Yashakiden: The Demon Princess. They both capture very unique horror vibes that in themselves feel influenced by anime/manga culture. VHD features a stoic hero on an endless quest, where every book pits him against more over-the-top enemies than the last, while being nestled in a post apocalyptic world unlike any other, with its blend of scifi and fantasy. Yashakiden on the other hand is a sickly sweet vampire series set within Demon City Shinjuku, where humans and monsters have this rough coexistence reliant on agreements between different communities, something that is thrown into disarray when an ancient vampire from another land comes into the mix. Every character is unique, wild, and fantastical in their own deadly way.

I didn't get much writing done yesterday, time to catch up. Here's the current jam as I get to work.

As my latest project began to stall I came across Novel November by Pro Writing Aid, a spiritual successor to Nano November which was a National Writing Month project that’s been going on for 20 years. I looked around and thought why not join in on the community, so I set my ongoing project down to let it cook further and decided to brew something up for the month. I’m excited to write a sequel to the last book I published, Shadowed Memories.

I’m excited to buckle down for Novel November, setting out to refresh my writing schedule and technique, while coming out on the other side with a renewed drive for my future projects. Be sure to stick around, take a look at my small library of published works, and don’t be afraid to ask questions on what I’ve done and the worlds I’m setting out to create.

Day 3—#NovelNovember Progress

I've been writing for three days in a row... I like that! :)

Confession time: I can’t write unless I have a mug of tea in hand, I’m tucked into my favourite corner of the sofa, and relaxing classical music is playing in the background. No lyrics allowed—otherwise, my brain starts analyzing the words instead of writing my own.

It’s my little creative ritual—calm, cozy, and just structured enough to trick my mind into work mode.

How about you? Do you have any strange or comforting creative rituals of your own?

So! This month I'm gonna try #novelnovember (successor to #nanowrimo). I'll thread word count updates under this post to keep track of my progress.

Wish me luck!

NaNoWriMo is no more. But Novel November is a thing!
