NaNoWriMo 2014!, More NaNo goodness Options

It's tomorrow! I have next to no plan, but a lot of coffee. What stead is everyone else in for this year's contest? What are you writing? Do you think you win?

Also, how many goats are you sacrificing? I ask in order to revive a year-old joke.

I'm managing nothing more than to bash my head off a brick wall at the moment.

I just can't picture anything...

Ugh, I hate that feeling.

I'm not sure how much help it might be, but if you're just running low on ideas then I'd recommend going on Youtube and putting on 'Epic Inspirational Dark Epic Awe-Enspiring Epic Music Mix of Epic Epicness #193843' and browsing some fantasy/sci-fi (not sure which one you're writing) artwork archives. I don't know how far it might go for you, but when I'm stuck for ideas I find that that sometimes really helps.

Unfortunately my broadband's a dongle with a datacap, so avoid youtube like the plague. Too dangerous

Actually, with that in mind, Callidus, what are you writing? I know it's something vaguely SFF-ish, seeing as you've been talking about worldbuilding, but aside from that I've got nada and I'd be interested in hearing the concept behind it.

Copying my synopsis from NaNoWriMo(I'm Callidus Thorn over there too ):

After witnessing firsthand the destruction of a village at the hands of bandits from the Northern Frontier, Amaril, a mercenary trained to fight with magic and steel, makes a choice. He decides that the Border Cities; the bastions which hold back the north, are not enough. That defending against the bandit raids is not enough. That honour, nobility, and common decency are not worth the price in blood.


That the Bandit King must be stopped, no matter the cost that he, or the band he assembles, must pay.




I figure it's kind of over the top and cliched, but since it turned up at the right time I just ran with it.
