And NaNoWriMo is going astonishingly well for me this year. I'm at 12,391 words as of this moment, though hopefully I'll pass 13,000 by the end of the night. My story this year is called Wir Schlafen Nicht, and it's about a demon named Silvia who, in modern times, meets a guy named Ivan and tells him about her life. And considering her life started in the 1300's, it's a bit of a long story. xD

When I first had the idea, she was going to be a vampire - but a REAL vampire, you know, not a Twilight!vampire. But I decided that vampires are such a motherloving fad nowadays, I'd do a demon. It's been interesting research-wise, because frankly demonology is kind of scary.

I went to my first write-in the other day and it was pretty fun. xD Although being immensely socially awkward is a bit of an obstacle when going alone to write with a bunch of people you don't know at all. I'm going to the next one on Tuesday and hopefully I'll be able to talk a little bit more now that I've been there before.

Wish me luck! Also: [link]
