NaNoWriMo!






So, in my last post, I talked about the fact that I was considering nanowrimo this November. And, I’m in for it!!!

Yeah, this November is going to be awesome!

Here’s a little background about the story I’ll be writing.

Genre: Fantasy

Title: Zivel and the Sixth Element.

Author: Mahikaa (duh.)

This story was the first one I ever thought of, but never wrote. Its initial idea came to me in April 2017 and it’s been in the works since then. I’ve got loads and loads of beginnings for this story, so many scrapped, a lot of back-ups, but till date, I haven’t plotted or finished its first draft…

That makes it more important to be written as soon as possible right?

Here’s a plot summary I uploaded on the Nanowrimo website a few days back. But fair warning, my story is currently in its plotting stages, so I’d say, at this moment, everything is subject to change.
Here goes:

A lot of the past hasn't been said. Does that mean it hasn't happened?

"Zivel had been lost into the mortal world for the past 89 years. She needs time" she said, loud and clear.

Alice Clark could not make sense of why or how did she belong to that universe of elements. And why did people call her Zivel. And time will step up to reveal, once she turns fifteen. But until then......

You can't escape it once you begin it. But you can escape beginning it. Choose wisely. The fate of elements depends on one javelin. If magic disappears, all elements will clash and how can you escape the nature? The very thing which is keeping you alive?

Clark, find the javelin

Let me know how you find it in the comments!

This is the first time I’ll be taking up nanowrimo and yes, I am very excited. The voices of my characters are back in my head and they’re finally talking to me! (The previous statement would make much more sense to writers.)

Lastly, if you’re taking up nanowrimo too this year then let me know or add me as your Nano buddy. Username’s Mahikaa.


P.S. This post was written two weeks ago and I will be updating the current status of progress soon!

On The Concept Of Random Capitalization (and standing out)

                                                                                      It’s unique. From what I know, it was introduced in John Green’s book, Paper towns in which the main protagonist, Margo Roth Spigelman believes in the concept of random capitalization. According to that, iT Is oKAy foR a sentTEnce tO Go LiKE this. Pretty cool right? It makes her stand out in the book because of her uncommon beliefs but how she justifies it seems just right. She thinks that the rules of capitalization are too unfair to the words in middle. Which is justified. Also, kind of extraordinary. Although, I must say, Microsoft Word wasn’t happy with my random capitalization, its red lines under the text. I believe that it is unique and actually good because w...

On The Annual Whirr Of Excitement

The annual whirr of excitement, as I just quoted it. In simple words, the excitement/fear/anxious feelings among all of us on entering our first board year, grade 10. There’s this whirr of excitement. It’s there every year, it’s there this time too. Although, I must say people are kind of reluctant and nobody was actually excited because as each year passed, the difficulty level, knowingly or unknowingly, shot up. But we were also keen on freeing ourselves from grade 9 so, I guess ultimately, it was inevitable. *Shrugs her shoulders* Every year we’re excited about new books, friends, hopefully more likeable and lenient teachers than last time, which makes up for most part of our worries before we begin our one year journey and we also hope that this one turns out to be better than the last one. Is this whirr going to last? Well, its annual actually, it comes, stays for some time and leaves. It lasts mostly for two to three weeks until the newness of everything sinks amongst...

Thoughts On An Airplane

Its night time and I’m on an airplane and when I look down, all I can see are specks of illumination, a sign of life. If I were to exaggerate and speak, there is no square metre of land that is accessible to us and not owned by us.  By us, I mean humans. Individually we may or may not own a lot of land. But if you see it amongst us humans, we have huge portions of it. Like, huge. So large they can house millions, hold cities, metropolises. From above, the land looked so vast. And the vastness did not fail to fascinate me. It was as if an enchanting spell. So much that I'm yet to comprehend. I have to admit you get a better view from a height. Okay following this statement, it might go a little on the crazy side. By crazy I mean my hopelessly imaginative side. Flying over cities, like I said, I see specks of light. They look like stars in the night sky. Sure they don't twinkle. But there's spots of light in the dark. Just like we see in the sky. Apologies, bu...
