I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year! For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is an annual challenge where you attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days (traditionally November 1-30). My writing period this year will actually be October 18-31 and then November 15-30 because I need to take the start of November off for a big family trip. I’ll also be streaming most of my writing days over on my Twitch channel. Everyone is welcome to come write (or just hangout or work on other stuff) with me if you want. twitch.tv.junwordweaver_vt
I am excited for the story I am going to write because it is set in the same world as my vtuber lore. In many ways it is going to act as an introduction and overview to the world which I will (hopefully) use as the foundational work for other stories in the future. The working title of the novel is “First Breaths of Eternity”. Here is a brief summary: Caelis is an eternal world full of magic and possibility. For the first time in ages a new person is created and brought into a small village on the Western Continent. Liwen awakens to a bright and vibrant world but no sense of personal identity. With the help and guidance of the people around them, Liwen goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out who they are and what their place in the world is.
I’ll be posting my WIP on my blog and on my Ko-fi page. My goal is to upload every writing day (we’ll see if I manage to keep up with that). The posts will have limited editing and so will be a very rough first draft but at least you will be able to get the core of the story (and a glimpse into the writing process). If the story turns out well I may in the future edit it properly and publish the final version somewhere but in the meantime I wanted to make the first draft available for whoever wants to read it.
Happy writing to everyone else participating in NaNoWriMo and happy reading to everyone reading the things that are being written. <3
