Something fun
Been dying of heat the last week, so I haven't been that much productive... I've been writing some, though, beginning with the language on the BIG project, writing about werewolves longhand and some writing on the dragon story.
Anyway, I come across something fun:
http://iwl.me/
A site where you can compare your writing with famous writers. I ran it with parts of my dragon story and Save it for another day. Different parts of each story got different writers: Wallace, Dan Brown (for shame) on the beginning of SIFAD, Lovecraft for the prologue on the dragon story and Ursula K LeGuin for parts of both stories, so I think I stick with her.
The result of this is that I have both stories up on my screen, so it gives me no excuse of avoiding writing either of them. So long!

PS. I ran the whole texts in the iwl, and got Wallace on the dragon story and Ursula K LeGuin on SIFAD. Pretty good I guess:D
Something strange...
Solved the trouble I wrote about in Troubles, though: writing longhand in a notebook about a world. I think this is the first time I do worldbuilding before I have a story in my mind. Decided with this project just to write down the phenomens in the world and decide for characters later. Have been writing about werewolvs yesterday and will continue today. I'm quite proud of my werewolves. I've also written down some first words in a conlang in this world. Hmm, soon this project needs its own category.
Well, I'll go on. Until next time

Troubles
I've had max four hours sleep tonight, after that I went up working. First day with my new job, that's good.
Been busy for a few days, as I said, and will probably be busy a while more. Updates will probably come more frequent now, though.
I've managed to write a tiny bit on the big project - that is, on the overview of the prewriting progress, about geology and geography a bit. Need to research more on those subjects. I want to start writing on language, making up my own. I've a few ideas of how it looks like but nothing specific. Will probably do the basic grammar and letters for more than one, but will only make a dictionary with the main language, called High Speech or something like that.
I've problem with my imagination. I've got enough of it, so writer's block because of a lack of things to write will probably not happen. I'm in the other end of the spectrum, where I've too much to write about, so I got started on projects and write until I get an idea and start on that one. Now I want to develop a magic system with my kind of werewolves, among other things, in it. But I feel three main projects are enough, with a couple on the side.
On the other hand, I don't want to loose good ideas because I write on something else. Hmm, choices, choices. I'll take a notebook and write down some ideas in it, then. I like to write longhand, for me it gives a larger overview of what I'm doing, but unfortunately, I have a tendency to take a notebook and write only a few pages before I starts a new. Well, well, those ideas may deserve their own book.
Well, until next time!
