NaNo17 - First Meetings
i have 1,000 words of my project this year for you today: it’s one of the first scenes i wrote, where the main characters actually meet. it happens at the very start, since half of the story is establishing the universe while the second half is going to be plot driven. (that’s just for the first draft, so i can have all the information from the end ready to seed back into the beginning. its…
quentin has a long day & a phone call
i literally just finished writing this so obvs very rough but hey, in this writing drought u gotta take what you can right? It’s only after Quentin’s kicked off his jeans, plugged in his phone and brushed his teeth that he lets himself relax. His bed isn’t the most comfortable but right now, nothing is better than the moment he climbs into it, sitting cross legged in the middle of the…

titles are for posts that have a purpose
the posts i’ve been scheduling are basically just copypasta from a wiki i use to organize all my random notes. i started with my nano guys b/c they have the most stuff written (i really planned a lot, i just failed to get the wordcount down), so you’ll probably notice the posts getting randomly shorter and more abstract as i go into more characters i haven’t written much for. it’s helping me…

Character Profiles in Courage: Quentin
dob: 12/2/1990 status: paranormal investigator, alive physical: string-bean build, probably not taller than 5’10”. he has shaggy, dark brown hair that he almost never brushes (unless you count finger combing, which i don’t.) blue eyes that get very wide and are almost always moving, also often bloodshot. an oblong face & blunt chin, usually dusted with too-lazy-to-shave stubble. his default…
