NaNo meme: Overcast: Desert Travel

Working Title: Overcast: Desert Travel
Genre: Fantasy
Projected Word Count: IDEFK. I'll be lucky if I get to 10k with my past NaNo luck....

AT THE START DO YOU:
Have an outline? Ish.
Scene-by-scene? What is this madness?
Know how it starts? Ish.
Know how it ends? Not completely.
Have your climax in order? Maybe.
Know your main characters yet? Yes!

IS YOUR WORK GOING TO BE:
Funny? In parts.
Sad? In less parts.
Semi-Autobiographical? No.
Based on another story? Mmm. It takes place on Overcast's continent, but instead of focusing on Novala, it focuses on like... everywhere else XD

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU PLANNED? HAVE YOU USED:
A paper journal? Nope.
Multicolored pens? What? No. Blarg pens.
A computer? Excessively. OneNote ftw.
Index cards? No.
Bulleted lists? Does it count if Overcast's actual story stuff, which is relevant for the side story, has them~?
Plot Charts? No.
Character Charts? Ish.
Character formulas? No....
Favorite writing resource? .........OneNote? :D;; ....well I do have like... so much in there...

ODDS AND ENDS:
A line you would like to use: Donno.
A scene you would like to include: Yosemite and Nau-ori recognizing one another as equals.

A concept you would like to explore: Dragonkin Landstriders. Life sucks and most of them generally die quickly. Or are killed.
A cliché you would like to avoid: .....uh. IDK.
A character you would like to use: I ALREADY KNOW WHO I'M USING?! IDK, depending on when this takes place in regards to the overall Overcast plot, possibly guest appearances from them?

FORWARD THINKING:
Do you expect to be able to complete it? Given my general go at this, no.
Do you intend to complete it? Yeaaaah....
Would you ever try to publish it? Maybe, but not until after Overcast's main.
What do you expect to get out of this month of frantic writing? Procrastination. I need not say more.

NaNo: Synopsis

Stricken by the oppression weighing down the nation to the west, Valebridge, Yosemite braves the desert heading south to the one nation that still knows the meaning of "hope." While the desert is hardly safe, it is known to be free of the treacherous dragonkin. However, after coming in contact with Clan Ipsun, he begins to realizes that he is one of few humans that is allowed a glimpse that not everything of the Etsyna continent is unchanging.
