Currently I'm one chapter in and it's looking good.

I have 6 major nations, one of which is an Empire and consists of 5 unincluded nations, and another of which consists of 18 united provinces, 2 weaker natioons, some coastal islands, Codes of morality and ethics associated with these nations, and thats just one of my continents. My cousin made another one, just sat down one day and drew a map, it was pretty good(he had history for it as well) and he decided he wanted it in my world so there are two major continents in my world.

Then the rest of the novel is what comes after that. I'm worried the idea for it, though, may be to much like the story told by The Black Parade album by My Chemical Romance. I'd love to just try it out and see where it leads, though.

What was the subject? You never know.
Besides, getting halfway through writing a novel is quite an accomplishment. I can't even get a tenth of the way through mine.

My favorite time I started was when I wrote fifty pages in three days, felt intensely proud of myself, and then realized I had started the story about two-hundred pages too early if I was going to slog around like that.
I wrote fifty pages of a train ride that had basically nothing to do with the story save introduce the main character.

Edit: I also introduce a potential romance sub plot, but I don't intend to pursue it, I have another one lined up for the main character later in the story.
