First Day, First Count
Aug. 4th, 2010 11:44 pmAs the first day of actual writing draws to a close, I'm here to report my word count: 6972. That's chapter one completed and chapter two halfway there. Go me!
So I was going to include some snippets but then I worried about spoilers and how those might not be appreciated for everyone, so instead, I decided to include bits of information about the series that might prove interesting.
Today I bring you birthdays! I've decided, for the sake of simplicity, the world of Talemar and Infinity's End shares Earth's months, days, seasons names, etc. I've one story (The Mimickers) where I recreated everything but frankly, that's a lot of work and Infinity's End is only a three part series whereas The Mimickers is intended to be a length similar to Dragonlance.
Anyway, back to the topic on hand.
Here's some birthdays from some of the main characters:
Ione Tegan - June 12th
Gale Arlen - January 8th
Azriel Hadley - September 29th
Kieran Azura - February 14th
Sabriel Arlen - December 19th
Malcolm Wyndham - November 9th
Grayson Nolan - March 25
Ryder Nolan - August 7th
Also, these birthdays weren't arbitrarily chosen. I used a listing of personality traits by birthday by numerology. And then used personality traits by horoscope to determine birth month. That way there was at least a basis in their birthdays rather than just random days. Oh, and while Kieran was born on Valentine's Day for Earth, February 14th is nothing special in Talemar.
So is this kind of thing interesting or would you rather have spoilery snippets?
