The Sorcerers of Hisderat


Soo...this is a story that I've been slowly making my way through for over a year now. It currently stands at somewhere around 44k words, with around a third ish being completed plot wise from what I've actually planned out for it.

I hope to try and get close to the ending of this thing. My initial estimate for how long this thing would turn out to be was 100k, at the rate this is going I dunno if that'll hold it might be longer, might be shorter, but at any rate, I just want to get as close to that end as possible. I don't quite have a word count to aim for but considering there's a good chance I will be too busy to write past around the 17th or so...Imma just put down a simple 10k here...just sorta propel this thing past the halfway point at least...get it closer and closer to that end.

As far as the basic premise is concerned, well...

Agents Harry and Rose have been assigned to chase after two briefcases that they're told could spell the end of the world in the wrong hands. Once they manage to get a hold of it however, they find themselves following on the trail of a series of riddles leading to mysterious keys. Can they actually get along with those one they're forced to work with? Why did their commander not even tell them what they keys are for? And who are the people that want to get their hands on it bad enough to kill for it?

Sprinkling of romance in there because...I apparently can't write a story which has no sprinkling of romance.

Sprinkling in romance is ALWAYS the right choice!! I've heard you talk about this project before so I'm excited to see what you're able to do during Camp! Love the idea of setting a manageable goal considering your other July commitments. Good luck 💜

Pssh, all good long stories have a sprinkling of romance in there somewhere!

I have seen you might not be active enough to write in the second half of July, which is totally understandable! That's a glory of Camp Nano, there's no pressure for 50k words or for a new project. I think an equally enormous task will be to push the project over the hump that you said was there. You got this, though! Can't wait to see your progress on this ^^

Day 1


I have no time to do fancy coding today but perhaps sometime later I'll actual add that in...xD...

Hmm...stared at Chapter 14 at the point I left off for a good half an hour trying to think of ways to continue...and ended up starting a short story to kind of get the creative cells functioning..and uhh...yeah that ended up ballooning to 3000 words before I knew what was going on...so uhh...I did write something but as for the story...we start with a nice 0. Ahh..well hopefully I can recover from that one down the line...

405/334

So overall, we're at 1314/10,000 which I think is behind the place I'm supposed to be at, but just barely so hoping to catch that up on Day 5.
