NaNo Day 19
Nov. 19th, 2007 10:41 pmI hit 40k today writing 2,284 words which came out of me pretty fluently. Demyan has gone completely crazy by now or so it is assumed and the story told in the forth or fifth chapter which involved only the four children are now revealed to be centered on Demyan's kids. I'm loving this part of the story, the youngest son finally got a name I don't keep forgetting and that has an actual meaning to it. Basically, everything seems to be uncovered now. All of the secrets except for one. he crystal. It's also interesting to note that I had something planned out perfectly with the story ending with the Old One telling Demyan something about fate but I don't think the story will go that way because I already passed that mark and it's going so well without it. Maybe I can put that in the epilogue, it would work and be a nice parallel to the prologue that is written from "Báleyg's" point of view. So he could start and finish off the story, tying the loose knots together.
I also finally caught up with Y - The Last Man and I am dying to read the last issue. This series is so incredible I'd like to coerce friends into reading it but I don't think I'll succeed. But it is a fantastic piece of literature and I love how the characters, particularly Yorik, 355 and Hero develop over the course of the story. And it sure helps having a Russian spy who's English "isn't bad - it's annihilated" (to quote Ciba Weber, another character) who is named Natalya of all things. Not only does Natalya's lack of English skills amuse me, she is the total opposite of me in many ways (with her horrible English, for example).
I have to read "The Portray of Dorian Gray" till next Saturday but haven't found my copy that seems to be lost in my bookshelf like so many other books, but Mathis is going to lend me his that as he pointed out on Saturday looks really fancy.
As for Wanted, the ideas are flowing out perpetually. The two triangles, Laurie, Drake and Ford as well as Heather, Johnny and Scott are both becoming more interesting and having a rude Englishman who is way older than the rest of the cast is just perfect and makes Kat an awesome character. Also, I have been working out what makes the two triangles different: Heather knows what she wants, she is not an airhead, she had a life that isn't all about who she is with. Laurie on the other hand experienced some angsty stuff and she had always been all over Ford, wanting him, loving him, a drama queen of sorts, quickly losing interest in something once she has it and standing between Drake and Ford, she doesn't know who it is she is looking for. Heather knows that she needs to change something in her life and like Laurie, she doesn't only have a former lover helping her with it, but also someone she never expected to and they are both trying to get to her heart but she isn't angsty, she takes matters into her own hands and is the independent girl with career perspectives and unlike Laurie, she doesn't feel like she can't live without a man in her life. The third protagonist, Kat, is with a guy nobody would ever have expected to see her with, who is unbearable but whom she loves and her former boyfriend who still isn't over her tries hard to make her see the Englishman isn't the one for her but the harder he tries, the more she sees how the Englishman is the one. It's just a nice story about teenagers, no baggage like with the Misfits who are taking a break (it sounds incredible but it's true)
