Well, it is now the fourth day of April, and I am busy working on all kinds of projects, mostly just trying not to go mad from being cooped up inside during the coronavirus quarantining. 

Besides recording podcasts, writing news articles, and taking a crash course in physics, I've also been doing a lot of writing. Recently, I took on the Camp NaNoWrimo April challenge, and I am attempting to write 500 words every day. Fantasy or realistic fiction have always been two of my favorite genres to write, and this year's camp is no exception. 

My current work in progress, which I have named Istorija for the time being, is a fantasy novel featuring four main characters who have next to no similarities. Although I have had the general world in mind for several months, I abandoned almost all my preparation on March 30th when I saw the following picture:

When I saw that image, I began to wonder what would happen if I made one of my side characters the primary adventurer. Immediately, it seemed that a whole new world of opportunities had opened up before me, and the places where I had been stuck drifted away! Now, even though my story line is not as smooth as it was before, I still feel like I am going places with this novel, and I can not wait to get even further into it!

As a side note, it is my plan to be more active on Best Attempt at Sanity in the upcoming months. This post also marks a transition from my traditional style of only posting fiction and poetry, to a more relaxed version where I post about my creative journey and more of my personal life. I'd love to hear more commentary and sharing of ideas, because that is how one truly thrives in their writing!

So please comment down below if you are doing April NaNoWrimo, or if you are working on an unrelated story idea of your own! I would love to hear them.
