It's a little over three hours CET for the start of Nanowrimo 2008.
I can barely wait! :-)
I'll try to keep this up-to-date, although my main blog will be my galician one, O gume da espada.
Finally, my novel will be a kind-of urban/phylosophical/onirical/discordian fantasy novel, Wishes.
I'll post less about it, as it's not based on event, and thus some things really are a surprise... :-)
Good luck to all Nanowriters out there, keep it up!
By the way, Blessed Samhain to everybody in the northern hemisphere.
There we go! KALLISTI!

Wreck of Shipwreck
Apparently, this year was not called for Shipwreck, or so it seems...
Two weeks to go on nanowrimo, and I cannot find all my documentation for the book... One of the trouble of moving, I guess... I know it's in here, but in which box?
Well, as all my books are well packed, I cannot easily retake any of my old projects, Historical Fiction is hard without data!
I may, in this case, attack a plotbunny that assauled me during last year Nanowrimo, a Fantasy novel based on the exploration of Wanting, Desire, ... born from an idea of Neil Gaiman's Lucifer comic book series. Just the seed, though, and it seemed attractive enough during this year to have the plot, caracter sketches and half the story more or less well thought out so far...
I'd say it's an interesting Nanoproject, and it stems in a centennial Galician tradition, with authors like Álvaro Cunqueiro or the almost infinite oral tradition involving witches (meigas, obviously from the same Latin root that gives "magic"), sirens, and all sort of mythological creatures from Iberian, Celtic, Latin, Suevian, Gothic, Arabic and Provenzal roots...
In this case, then, I really walk over giants' shoulders... :-)
Anyway, this is not definitive, but a most likely conclusion of this year hectic Autumn...
I'll let you know, because, anyway, there'll be a lot of historical elements in it... unavoidable... :-)
Best for all and good luck to the Nanoers!

Shipwreck
OK, I have just updated my Nanowrimo writer profile.
As you can see there, my next Nanovel is titled "Shipwreck" and it's set in 1810, during the Spanish Independence War.
It'll tell the story of a joint naval operation between the Spaniards and Englishmen in Northen Spain. The operation was pretty important, but after some initial success, it went awfully wrong.
As the main (read as 'the actual key') events of the story happened just some kilometers away from my own hometown, this'll be the first time I'll be writing a Historical Fiction novel on a place I have actually been and know pretty well... :-P
Anyway, I'll keep you updated in here, but this year my main blog will be O gume da espada, in Galician... Good time to learn new languages! ;-)
Good luck to all Nanowriters whis year!
