With luck, by the time November rolls around, I'll have a name for this universe of mine. Right now I just know it by the name of its primary characters: Eriol, Berkant, Lars, Odette.

Right now, it's still in flux. I'm out to find out more about it and the characters so that when I do National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) I'll be prepared, instead of getting caught flat-footed like I did last year.

This includes figuring out:

- outline
- characters / backstories / relationships
- setting / world-building
- plot
- themes
- getting myself to write to a schedule again

And I have some progress on all of this, but not yet enough. Hence this journal.

(Note: I'll post about other things here, but for now this is the primary purpose of this space.)

I don't know what to put here yet! It's been a long time since I had to start a journal like this fresh - but as self introductions go, this one is terrible. Ahem.

I'm junkstars, twenty-three, and I have an interest in writing, art, and playing video games. I'd like to use this journal to write about myself, write out ideas and plans for an original piece I want to write, and as a vehicle for checking out communities.

I'm currently reading, among other things, Intruder by CJ Cherryh, A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman, and manga by Shirow Masamune. I'm playing Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Unchained Blades, and Conception II. I'm watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (the live action show), Slayers, and Vampire Princess Miyu TV.

...As the above could tell you, I'm currently binging on media thanks to some stress going on, and hopefully I can readjust my schedule in the following months so there's more writing crammed in there.

I believe that's everything for a first entry. Thank you, and good night.
