NaNoWriMo Update

Hey everyone!

It’s halfway through National Novel Writing Month, and The Waking Cloak is on track. It’s currently the 14th of November, and par for today is 23,333 words–I’ve got 23,437 written!

It’s been slightly bumpy (as usual for NaNoWriMo), but overall I’m really enjoying it this year.

I’ve written the first section of the story in full, and for the rest I’m just hopping around and writing whatever scenes I feel like (forcing myself to write chronologically is often much harder). I’ve explored a barrow, a tribe of turtles in the swamp, a spooky lighthouse with a mazewinder, and a kindly gibu farmer and his wife.

This version of the story is much more in-depth than you’ll see in the game, but it helps fill out the backstory, lore, and plot structure for me. And who knows… maybe the novel version of The Waking Cloak will be available for you to read someday…………..? (after the game comes out)

And that’s all! Just wanted to let you guys know it’s still going strong. Hope you have a great day. :)
