So I guess the only way to get people to read my blog would be to actually write on it periodically. I’ve been doing most of my blogging on Plurk, which is kind of like Twitter and IM mixed together and on a timeline, on a small scale as I haven’t had much to say of late. Looking back, I used to blog at least 2-3 times a week, I’d like to get back into that and maybe one day get to blogging every day. We’ll just have to see.
Onto real topics though. I’m going to do NaNoWriMo this year. I’ve already got a title chosen (thanks Mrs Fireshaper!) and have a storyline sorta fleshed out. The story revolves around two brothers who lead a group of outlaws in an alternate history/steampunk version of the American wild west. The outlaws show up in a town and the older brother, Grant, has the idea that a kidnapping would generate some income for them. The group pulls off the kidnapping but Grant gets caught after and put in jail — a train that circles the town every day. Now the younger brother, Trey, and the rest of the group have to break Grant out and the only way to do that is to break him out from the inside. I would link to my NaNo page but it’s going so slow right now. Writing starts in 3 days and you can believe I’ll begin my writing Nov 1, 12:00 AM. I started on a prequel to my story but I won’t have it done before I begin the novel on November 1st, I’ll definitely put it up on hayst.org for anyone who would like to read what I had though.
In other news, the Fireshaper House of Haunts and Evils that Mrs Fireshaper and I put together a few weekends ago is destroyed. We put up spiderwebs on the bushes out front and I dug some shallow holes that look like freshly dug graves and we put some skeletons half buried in them with headstones. Well the weekend after we get lots of rain and wind and the weather is getting worse, it seems. The headstones aren’t standing anymore, I think one is in the bushes somewhere, and the spiderwebs are strung out bad. I’ll have to try and fix it up some more before Friday night but I don’t even know how many kids will show up. Last year, in the apartment, we didn’t have any kids show up and we had bought a big bowl full of candy, so hopefully there will be more this year in the house.
