Merinda's Meanderings

I think it’s appropriate that Nanowrimo starts at the witching hour right after Halloween is technically over. I’ve been somewhat avoiding thinking about mine because if I think about it I’m going to want to write it, but I think I have an idea of how I want to start it. So, you can probably expect random ramblings about steamships and inter-dimensional travel, if I blabber here about my novel.

Hey, it’s Nanowrimo, anything goes. To all you playing, the best of luck, to any of you that aren’t, well, why aren’t you? it’s only a bit less then two-thousands words a day!

Just a few days from Nanowrimo. I’m starting to get excited, though I still don’t have much of an idea of my plot besides mad scientists and cliches and vague steampunk ideas. For some reason I’ve decided to write something that’s vaguely steampunk, though I’ve got no real idea what that means. Also I took a dare from a friend to include a male ballet dancer, so that’s Victor Beauchamp, my male MC’s, day job. There will be some romance, and probably some scifi, and I’m afraid it’s just going to turn into a colossal mess, but hey, it’s nanowrimo, so who cares.

Also I got an eeePC, so I can write on the go:

That’s my eeePC (running eeexubuntu) on top of my compaq presario for a size comparison. I broke the hinges on my laptop, so it’s no longer really portable. I also got a portable DVD player case for it (it’s the same size), so I can really take it on the go.

I have resources up there in the links, don’t forget. And if anyone knows of any other resources or links, feel free to leave a comment. Let’s get ready to rumble!
