And OYAN once again came into play! It was awesome. I wrote three adventure novels during November (although only one was planned) and I used OYAN strategies and thoughts in all of them. The one that I used OYAN on most was not the one that I saved using OYAN...but instead another novel that I wrote completely off the top of my head.
It was a fantasy/adventure novel that is practically one long treasure hunt. I intend to edit it and have it self-published through CreateSpace by Christmas—but that's another story.
It was the sort of novel that you write during OYAN. And there were so many times I kept on thinking in OYAN-speak during that novel. ;) Probably the most memorable time is when the characters are about to venture to cross a swamp. Everyone keeps on telling them they can't go into it...it's horrid...no one has ever survived, ect.
Then, when I got them into the swamp I realized that with all that stuff previously I'd made a dreadful promise! Now there was only one thing to do! I'd made a dreadful promise and now I needed to fulfill the dreadful purpose. But how...
So I had to invent some really dreadful stuff. And really, really dreadful stuff, because it had been a VERY dreadful promise, and so to make the 'bad thing around the corner' worse than what I'd promised would come...
It was a challenge.
The whole novel was like that, practically. OYAN came into play A LOT.
OYAN rocks. :)
