One week into the new year already. Most people set goals for themselves this time of year, but I've never really done that. This year however seems to be different, or maybe it's just me that's different this year. I did resolve to be a bit more consistently creative this year. We'll see how it goes.
I've started work on two projects already. "The Chronicles of Rin and Finnius" (working title) and "The Diary of Oic Oricson." I seem to work on Rin and Finnius when I'm at home and Oic Oricson when I'm on the go, but no matter what I'm working on I have a common problem. Naming.
I struggle with naming. People, places, things or whatever. I'll come up with this really cool fictional person or thing and need a name for him/her or it only to blank out. This has got to be a common problem, but it isn't anything that's ever talked about. At least not that I've heard. I'm hoping that I will overcome this hurdle soon because it slows me down and my writing time is already limited.
On the bright side, I managed to get down about 4000 words over the first week. I've struggled some with where the story ("The Chronicles of Rin and Finnius") is going and considered changing course, but I'm going to continue on the track that I'm currently on. I like the basic story arc and it is teaching me some things as I write. When the story is done, I'll take a look and see what needs fixing. If it can be fixed that is. If not, I'll just move on to the next story. It seems that all my story ideas come to mind when I'm writing, so I'm looking forward to finishing this story so that I can start on the next one. Fun times!
