Writing about Writing

I have constructed a timeline about my stories. I wrote a long one in a Word doc, but condensed it for the blog post. I have also added to it.

Story Timeline



October [exact date unknown], 2008. The world begins.

This was pretty much when I first started Role Playing on a school forum. I was interested in the fantasy realm, even though I had written Superhero stories since around 2005 or 2006. This was also when Harret was created.

November 20^th, 2008. The First Kingdom is destroyed.

The Role Play Game was discovered by a teacher and deleted off of the forums. I made friends with one of the RPG-ers and we continued RPG-ing through email, but... that didn't last too long.

December 5^th, 2008. The Magical Kingdom is born.

I was unable to continue contact with the other role player after a bit without getting into trouble. It seemed like everything was against this fantasy world; trying to keep it from being alive. I was determined to not let that happen. December 5th, '08, was the date I started the very first chapter that lead me to all this.

March 29th [?], 2009. Frg’s beginning.
Fredrick Roger Grandsople was created. Just in time for April Fool's Day....
[exact date unknown], 2009. Altradair is invented.
The Magical Kingdom and Altradair were the two main countries I wrote in. Frg, not surprisingly, was in both. It was only a matter of time before he merged the two countries, and soon the characters in both realms were interacting.
November 9^th, 2009. Sandra and the Treasure of Night and Day.
This was the big one. The creation of Heroicits was purely accidental; I had been assigned to write a short story for English class. I wasn't willing to submit any of my valuable Magical Kingdom chapters for it, so I did some freewriting. And boom bam, Heroicits was invented. Frg showed up in there too.
December 17^th, 2009. One thousand pages.
This was the time I hit the thousand page mark, thanks to the MK chapters. I was writing Heroicits and Magical Kingdom side by side now, with Frg in both, but the two kingdoms hadn't merged yet. By this time, the entire team (the Magical World Warriors) existed, but half of them didn't know the other half even existed.
January 19^th, 2010. Then the worlds collided….
I turned my back on Frg for one second and he caused the Magical World to form. Heroicits, the Magical Kingdom, and Altradair were all smushed together rather violently in an incident called The Incident of the Twenty Frgs. In that incident, Frg cloned himself five times, and all the clones cloned themselves.... This was also the first incident where Rayon and Nessah met for the first time. Not pretty.
November 1^st-13^th, 2010. Magical World Warriors.
After several months of the crazy team getting used to each other, I threw all eight of them and myself into a novel for my first National Novel Writing Month. The novel was full of random scenes, rubber ducks, the UPS guy, food fights, sword fights, pranks, jokes, quotes, and running gags. It was perfect, beautiful, and if you touch it I will rip your head off.
December 30^th, 2010. 3,000 pages.
This was when I hit 3,000 pages overall. This was also the third year I had been writing, meaning I punched out 1,000 pages a year. (I still am!) The Magical World Warriors remained a team, and were now living together in the Magical World as, well, a team. I now officially called myself a Writer, and considered publishing.
March 17th-28th, 2011. The Reign of Terrier.
This was my first but unofficial Script Frenzy. The Magical World Warriors starred in it, doing a hilarious and overdone 'The Tale of Two Cities' spoof. It was just like my NaNoWriMo novel; full of jokes, running gags, and random things, including the UPS man. It was 101 pages long when finished.
June 6th, 2011. Operation Albatross.
This is the day the Operation Albatross Incident started. I will probably go into detail about it in another post, but basically, it was horrible, bad, nasty, ugly, destructive, and almost utterly destroyed everything I'd worked since December '08 to create. There are still plenty of scars from it. I'll talk more about it later.
July 1st, 2011-Present. More Stories.
I did Camp NaNoWriMo in July, and now I'm doing it again in August. This will add 100k to my overall word count. My Magical World has turned into a whole Universe, and I have big plans for November 2011. Ohhh yes. Big plans. >:)

That's all for now. ^^
