17 Days Left

As the title states, there are only 17 more days left to prepare for the nanowrimo challenge. However, I must admit I am slacking a bit (not a good sign, right?!). The rest of this is my ideas for my novel. (just a warning if you don't want to read it). I hope those who do read it enjoy it and feel free to leave your thoughts whether they be good or bad. Constructive criticism is VERY much appreciated. I hope maybe I can inspire some ideas to all of you who read this to make your nano novel just a little bit easier to write.

I've copied my 'world' so I can work on landforms and geographic features. Currently is has:
1) The main continent
2) The main island
3) A smaller island that was separated from the main island (explanation along the lines of stopping the first attack from my soon-to-be created bad guy/power/thing)
4) A ritual ground which I currently have as floating due to the power that fuels it
5) Two decent sized, weirdly shaped island (MUCH is unknown about these). So far they are unexplored/undiscovered which is kind of hard to work with since the world was CREATED by the magic wielders when the Earth as well as most humans were eradicated due to global warming. Some ideas are popping into my head though so we'll see how those things go when I am through.
6) Remember #2? Well, there are 5 really small small islands branching off of that where the humans live. Some of the species saved their loved ones and that's where they live, on those islands with a barrier so that they can have the same polluted atmosphere in which they can live in

At first I thought it was getting a little crowded but I am warming up to having about 5 land masses. First off, I will have more to work with, and there will be more words I will be able to squeeze out of my brain to reach my goal and longer. (I hope to have 100,000 words when I am done with the actual story). Who knows, I may end up being able to write a sequel with all of this.

My main character is Rækella (Rei-kel-lah) who was born on the main island next to the island's largest river. The beings that inhabit this island have straight brown hair and purple eyes (marks on their sides?). However, she was born with curly blond hair and green eyes (something happened to her at birth.--idk if I want it to be that her parents were of two different species so I'm trying to think of something else).

The second main character will be some sort of necromancer but I want to change the word necromancer to something similar so I have more to work with and I can alter what he does (it WILL have something to do with the dead). My friend has this thing for royal families so I was thinking along the lines of him being born on the main continent and something happened so that he was kicked out (exiled, someone impersonated him so he was thought of as a crazy person, etc.) but he still has his sisters and brothers who can help him regain the throne as there is some serious corruption in the palace. (parents -king and queen- are being manipulated in a way). --Does that make any sense? I hope so!-- I want his kingdom to be at war with another and yeah, that's all I have so far.

They're both going to meet on the broken off part of the main island (#3 above). That's where the main school is located. EVERY child is forced to go to some sort of school similar to that so their powers can be controlled. That broken off island is going to have the most varied climate and geographic features and I'm ready to have a lot of fun with that.

I plan on having a lot of subplots which will connect to bigger plots, which will eventually connect to the main plot. I plan to explore most of the cultures I am in the middle of creating and to explore all the possible types of governments the people of each species are under. (I hope to stay away from being really too political though).

OKAY, I am done rambling for now. Those are some of my ideas that I think I just needed to tell somebody as I don't really have a family member to tell them to. And I have about one friend who I'm going to tell when everything is put together a bit. Her name is Eydis so we'll be having some write-ins together to help smooth our plot lines out a bit. And finally, I am done chewing your ears off. I hope you enjoyed reading about my progress and maybe I've instilled some ideas in your head so you can play with them and make your nano novels amazing! Thanks for reading!! =D
