Begun rewriting my novel/ MWC news

Posted by WritersBlock - January 12th, 2010


Ok, so in November I participated in NaNoWriMo and I wrote a 50,000 word steampunk adventure in 30 days. The results can be found here, but if you want to read it as it is now, you've got to be quick because I'm probably going to take it down soon.

As a rough draft, I'm happy with it, but as a proper novel, not so much. So I'm rewriting it with a lot more action and character development and an upgraded plot. There'll probably be a lot more characters and places and stuff and it'll be a lot longer. In fact, I'm planning on taking the time to turn it into a trilogy or series or something. The other day I started writing the first book, Stormbringer. I have a feeling it's going to be good. I've read a lot more into the steampunk genre since I first wrote my novel, and I feel like it doesn't completely fit into the genre, so for now I'll just refer to it as "neo-victorian science fiction".

Hopefully my rewrites (or my rewrites of my rewrites) will be good enough for publication. If that happens, I hope you'll all buy my books. <3

On another note, I'm just about ready to launch the latest monthly writing competition, and I think it's going to be the most exciting one to date. I still require two more judges, but other than that, I should be ready to launch the competition by the end of the week.

You're a mod too, fool.

Duh.

Oh, ok then. If you say so.

WritersBlock wrote a book.

That's so very ironic.

Hahahaha. :3

I know, NOW I can post the competition.
