Writing is gonna happen!



So, I started this blog in hopes that it will motivate me to write more. I have never been one that has written consistently, but am hoping I can find a way to change that.

I have always wanted to write, and when I was younger, I did so all the time. Even had a really bad and dark poem published years, and years ago. But lately? Not much. I get going for a while, but discipline is not something I have much of lately. Struggling to find focus and not be distracted by my life has resulted in inconsistent writing...both in quality and quantity.

There are two things I want to write.

#1. The Rpg I want to make. That is going to require a whole different part of me to do.  will also require a lot of writing. Things like setting, rules, examples, etc.

It is loosely called Kushara's Fate. I still want to start with the Fate Core system and create the game. Is loosely based on the world of the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. A power is trying to take over the everything and only you and your people can stop them. Yes, I realize it is a little cliche, but there is more to it than that. :)

#2. A novel that takes place in the rpg I want to make. Loosely named Shadows over Kushara. I have written a small amount thus far, but am more than a little nervous about how poorly it is written. Heh. It has been so many years that I know I have a long way to go as a writer, but really would like to see that move in a positive way.

A shout out to +Brianna Sheldon and her 250 words she has been doing for a bit now. Her goal is to write 250 words every single day. I watch her share this on Google+ anything from fiction, to just her feelings about a number of topics. It motivates me to do the same. I cannot honestly say I have done it every day, but I am getting better.

So, hopefully this is a starting point for me. A way to east back into creating something. I am always so much happier when I am doing that and this is the year for me to start doing things that make me happy.

My goal is also to hopefully get other people excited about writing as well. I would love to get people to follow this as I want to share this adventure with people in my life.

Cheers!

  1. If you can write the novel and change things up whenever necessary to make them cool/cooler, those changes could translate over into your RPG as skills, traits, spells, etc.

  2. That has always been the plan. To use the novel to help flush out the rpg.
