Sean's On The Web Progress

The blog that is keeping track of my progress on my project for module MC15020.
The module's mission is to learn how to keep a well written and edited blog.
After a false start, I have decided my project will be documenting my experiences as I attempt to write a 50,000 word novel for NaNoWriMo

Profiles

Each of the individual profiles has been written. I'm getting a beginning feel for the characters and what they're going to be.

Tom's going to be a 'lads lad', Marv's going to be a studyholic recluse, Kim's definately going to be anime fangirl (stereotype? You betcha, but I have enough friends like her to be able to write her.), and finally, Jane. Jane's going to be probably the most like me (except in subject that she's studying), so I'll probably find her the easiest to write.

Another thing I've recently realised I have to look at is grammar and spelling, do I want to add to the immersion by purposefully using things like 'm8' and 'l8r' and 'u', or do I want to try and spell as best as possible to make it easier to read?

I've also got to work out their writing styles as well. So far I've got Marvin writing short sentences with lots of full stops, and Kim being extra excitable and writing with loads of !'s. Jane will end up writing like me I'm sure, and Tom... haven't got a feel for him yet.

Also about to update this blog's description.
