NaNoWriMo 2016: The Zemlja Dosta Chronicles


Buenas Dias
One more sleep till that Friday Feeling Dance~ We can Do It!!

If you're a writer or even an avid reader then you should undoubtedly know what the month of November holds in store.
No, Nope I don't mean Movember haha.

It'ssssssssssssssssss NaNoWriMo!!!
Wooohoooo
Start Date: 1st November 2016
What is NaNoWriMo you ask?
  • National Novel Writing Month (often shortened to NaNoWriMo, "na-noh-ry-moh"), is an annual, Internet-based creative writing project that takes place during the month of November. NaNoWriMo challenges participants to write 50,000 words (their minimum number of words for a novel) from November 1 until the deadline at 11:59PM on November 30. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to get people writing and keep them motivated throughout the process.
This year marks my First NaNoWriMo ever! I'm so jazzed & just happy to jump in to this already established writer's fiesta. It's going to be awesome, I can't wait to meet fellow WriMo's.

Initially I was planning on typing out a YA Biopunk story filled with awesome kickass teenagers, hybrid experiments, shady scientists & an even shadier organization hell bent on "seeking the truest potential within mankind."

But alas, with the taking on of new clients, my annoying day job {hence the clients, to hopefully earn enough that I can ditch this job in favor of a full time Writing career}---I've had to prioritize my daily time. Especially with the research & worldbuilding involved.

So, like a bolt of lightning down my vertebrae, I realized I already had the perfect Novel to finish:

My very own Epic Fantasy Fairy Tale called The Zemlja Dosta Chronicles
It tells the tall tale of 3 companions. The Unicorn Queen, The Samurai & The Wizard

Acirassa, Eiramus & Hocirne each have compelling back stories & destinies that they've been set on. With twists & turns around every corner, they will most assuredly face their worst fears all the while attempting to prevent an all out war between the realms.

You can find each chapter link & blog post below:

Chapter 5 - The Elven Trials
Chapter 6 - Hocirne's Return

Chapter One ~ The Unicorn Queen, The Samurai & The Wizard

"This is not a genre I usually read, but you drew me in. I am going to go read the other part now."~ Carol Cassara

 "Amazing fantasy story and artworks! Love your writing style and creative mind :-) As always enjoy reading your post!"~ Eugenia

"I've never been into this genre but it did seem interesting enough that I finished it. I know the feeling of the girl when you see your dad walk out on you."~ Ms KathyKenny

"I seriously love the way you use words. I've tried writing several genres before so I know how difficult it is to put into words what you are thinking, but for people like you it looks so easy and the result is flawless!!I seriously love the way you use words.

Chapter Four ~ The Unicorn Queen, The Samurai & The Wizard Part 2


"You are extremely talented. I love fantasy fiction with wizards and dragons, but could never write this well and bring the characters to life the way you do."~ Nancy Lustri

 "Gah! I'm not patient enough for this format! lol Fantastic story! I'm very excited for the next part!"~ Melisa

 "I loved this as much as I loved the first part! I can't wait to read what you come up with next."~ Masshole Mommy

######################

Chapter Five ~ The Elven Trials


"You should be adding this to a book, it's very good. Teens would love it, it has everything it needs for an enchanted fantasy world that can take their imagination far, far away."~ Joanna

 "I don't even understand how you can weave such stories. It's absolutely great work."~ Ms KathyKenny

"Wow, I can't believe we're at chapter five! It's really getting more and more exciting. That was a heartbreaking scene at the end."~ Mom Knows Best

######################

Chapter Six ~ Hocirne's Return




"This all spun out of a conversation with your buddies? Wow, you have an amazing imagination to weave such a tale!"~ Liz Mays

"Omw, look at that 400 and something year old badass!!!! So thrilling! Can't wait to read the next chapter!!"~ Benita Govender

"Omg!!!!!! This was one great piece of writing!!! You my friend are very creative and have a way with words!"~ CourtneyLynne

Going back & reading everyone's comments was such an EPIC experience, Thank You ALL for the highly encouraging & sentimental words. You will never know just how Much I cherish them!



NaNoWriMo's main goal is to encourage creativity worldwide.

The project started in July 1999 with 21 participants, but by the 2010 event, over 200,000 people took part and wrote a total of over 2.8 billion words.


Meet Chris Baty 
He accidentally founded National Novel Writing Month in 1999, and oversaw the event's growth from 21 friends to more than 300,000 writers in 90 countries

    I admire the ability to write a novel. I did a short picture book once, but I didn't get a publisher. I still try from time to time because I believe in the book. :)

    I love the message behind this movement. It's inspired a fellow blogger to start her book. Big ups to you and your next piece. It's exciting to see so many writers supporting each other.

    I have never participated in Nano month. I have had friends who have done it before and have considered it myself. Maybe this year I will take the plunge!

    This NaNoWriMo project seems so great for all the writers. If it only happened on Summer that I could participate but no way I could pull this of because of the school and trainings.

    That's cool of you to infuse western and eastern-derived characters. I'm sure you could give some of the most successful and popular fantasy writers and producers a run for their money!
