I’ve decided that this will be the first year I try out NaNoWriMo.
I’ve been wanting to add a mascot character to my main site, The Pink Sylphide, and concept art has been put together by a friend of mine. However, there’s been no progress further on the artwork side.
I’ve been wanting to create a story for my mascot character. Because most of what I write about on “The Pink Sylphide” is related to the magical girl genre, my mascot character would have a story that puts her into a magical girl situation.
I wanted her to be a normal girl, but I wanted her to become a magical girl, but I want her to be a normal girl. I wanted her to appear at a very young age, a young child, but I wanted her to appear as a young teenager. I wanted her to be a cute child, but I always wanted her to be a more complex person.
In one morning, upon deciding to try for this year’s NaNoWriMo, I took my character, Sarah Cloverfield, and I created a plot and cast of characters around her. Her story will begin during her younger childhood, then it will continue in her early teen years. Her life as a magical girl will exist within her dreams.
With a solid knowledge of the magical girl genre, I’ve already decided which “common magical girl elements” I’ll be using, which I won’t be using, and which I’ll be introducing.
Now begins the most difficult part of NaNoWriMo: not writing the actual story in advance!
