kageisuke: Mitani from Hikaru no Go (Gimme gimme~!)

I have about... fifteen days to figure out if I'm doing NaNo or not? I wanted to. Was really gung-ho-guns about it. Then. I dunno. A whole month slipped by without me thinking about it at all and I got a NaNo e-mail about a meeting at Capital Ale. I know I can pump out an outline, maybe do a few personality sections for characters that I have no standard profile on, but... I feel like I need a bit more complexity in my writing, in my plotting, and something more complicated than my original plot.

Goddamnit Dresden Files. Your connecting logic I can't ever truly follow until it's spelled out for me -yet when a mysterious person from previous volumes shows up nameless I can almost always snap my fingers and go 'Oooh, probably that guy/girl from that time' and be right- makes me want to try it myself. But I'm bad at it. :[

Very bad.

*crosses fingers* Either way. The five W's and H will help me \o/ Just gotta get my notebook that I started all of this in during high summer... I actually had a launching point from there.



And I need to back up all my stuff to my external HD sooner rather than later so I can reformat. I told myself I would do it before my new job started, and that's been pushed back to at least mid-November. No telling what's up with that, but if I start NaNo, I won't have time for that shit. B| Like. At all.

And Renee's profile is looming over me. I think I have more trepidation about doing her back story than anyone else. The school keeps changing as I mold my ideas about how everyone meets and making things more realistic. Or as realistic as they can get when you have Mercenary schools that are accredited. >_> Meh.

I'll see you in a couple of weeks! :D

But it'll get your story going, at least. Even if you don't finish, you'll have more than you have now.

Why is it so late?

Yaaay. How are you getting there? Jen said she was gonna take the free bus XD;;

Aa, true. Mostly it's stalled because I'm thinking about the world still. I've been tweaking it constantly ever since I started playing Blaine. So... for the past year ... =__=

Well, lots of stuff going on on their end. *shruugs* I'm just wondering if it'll get pushed backt o December. Second half of november is holiday time =o=

Same as her! All of us are taking it. 8D I am very excite to hang out with some of my favorite peoples in DC!

It might encourage you to work out the kinks. And do Renee's background, gdi! D<

Maybe they want you there in time for the holidays.

I have to... make the plans on when to leave and where to park and meh. I guess I have to figure out where we should meet. Some place away from the crowd.

I have been though. =| But every time the base of it changes, I get a new set of problems that I work out. Then it seems fine aaaand then it changes again and I work it out. So now that I think I'm at the final part, it's basically just the characters and plot I have to worry about.

That'd be nice, but very odd. Considering.

I don't know DC at all, but finding out a place to meet would be good. We're not going to have much leeway, I'm not gonna lie. We're getting in DC at 12 when the rally starts and leaving at 4 pm, an hour after the rally. Not much breathing room.

Here's what it said about where we're being dropped off: The HuffPost Sanity Bus will drop you off at RFK Stadium in Washington DC. At RFK Stadium, you can easily take the DC Metro to the National Mall on either the Orange Line or the Blue Line from Stadium-Armory Station.

Orange Line: From Stadium-Armory Station, take the Orange Line 4 stops to Federal Center SW, get out and walk two blocks north on 3rd Street to the Mall.

Blue Line: From Stadium-Armory Station, take the Blue Line 4 stops to Federal Center SW


And it says for leaving: After the rally, you are responsible for getting back to RFK Stadium to board the return bus to New York City. You can take either the Orange Line or the Blue Line back to Stadium-Armory Station near RFK Stadium. You can get these lines at the following stations, depending on where you exit the National Mall after the rally:

* Federal Center SW at 3rd and D Streets, SW
* L’Enfant Plaza at Maryland Avenue and 7th Street, SW
* Smithsonian at 12th Street on the Mall, SW
* Federal Triangle along 12th Street between Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues, NW
You must be back at RFK Stadium by 4:00pm to ensure a ride back to New York City.


So yeah. D8

Why do you keep changing the base? :V Also, does that mean you can go full speed ahead now that you have the final part? Characters and plot is a pretty big part.

Holy crap. I might not see you at all in that case. B| I was hoping you'd get there... BEFORE the rally and leave a few hours after. Mostly since I thought your friend was driving. *disgruntled sound* Maybe the Washington Monument. Or the reflection pool nearer to where the rally is going to be held.

The basics of the world. Like how I was rambling to you about if it was government or illegal organization. Those are big things that change a lot about the story depending on which point of view it is. Determines how the characters are received by other people, how they act, their motives, ect. And then, since this is technically a sequel to a story I never finished, I have to determine events from the past. How they met, how that shaped relationships in the 'present'. Yadda. So I'm doing all of that in snippets and as I tweak one thing, others fall in place or I have to jiggle others around to fit or take them out all together.

Well we can hang out during the rally. And meeting close to the rally would be good, because I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET TO THINGS. Also, I can leave later if you're offering a ride home~ 8D

She was driving, but then she heard about the bus. :/

I get you. Would doing NaNo help that?

If you pay for my gas money. =| To and back. B|

XD;; Weellll. I'd opt for the bus, if I knew I'd actually make it. When do they actually LEAVE for DC? I'd hope not at the last damn minute or anything.

It helped me last time. But I think it'd do a lot more this time around, even if I'm only doing a side story.

How much?

Oh wait, I can't read. We're getting in DC at 11 am, not 12.

She didn't want to have to deal with parking or finding a place to sleep. I don't know when they leave, probably at 4:30 or something. I know the trip to DC is from 6 am to 11 am, and they want us to be in Queens by 5:30, so probs a half hour. Either way 5 hours sounds RECOCKULOUSLY long to me.

Go go go for it.

NaNo ... Mercy me, I keep forgetting about that. Either way, churning something out just for the sake of it can often lead to immediate writer's block (but you know this already), so don't force it. Let it flow, lady.

I forget about it until it's right around the corner. Like now.

Haha, writer's block. *kicks it in the shins* I'm more worried about the overall plot and basic things.
