Oh, look! A Wild NaNo Appears!
GUUYYYSSS NANO IS ALMOST HEEEERE!
I have a thing about NaNo.
I LOVE NaNo.
I love it because I love first drafts.
I love first drafts because you can make them as terrible as they can possibly be and IT'S TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE. The real stress comes in when you have to make your writing look nice and fix up little plot inconsistencies...etc. At least, that's how it works for me.
This year, I'll be writing a novel currently titled THE CURE THAT NEVER WAS. I've written the first 10K words because I like to get into the story a bit before I sell my soul to the devil have to write like a maniac. Coincidentally, the start of NaNo every year is my birthday, which pretty much spells out BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. I have every excuse to hide away in a hole and write. *is not a boring person at all ssshhhh no what are you talking about*
But anyway. I digress. Here is a little bit more about TCTNW:
THE CURE THAT NEVER WAS is about Aspen, a writer, whose best friend (Holly) has recently passed away after a long illness. Holly leaves Aspen with a challenge to cross oceans and continents and piece together the story Holly only ever dreamed of writing. Aspen must also put up with Holly's older brother Sebastian if she's going to accomplish everything...which may end up a good thing after all, if you know what I'm sayin'.
TCTNW is near and dear to my heart because my little sister's name was Holly, and she died when she was 5 months old. I wanted to tell the story about a girl who changed lives, even though her time on earth was short, because that's how my sister was.
I made a few collages to show the mood of the story and the characters... (I don't own any of these photographs!)
If you're a music geek like me, check out this nifty playlist-picture-thing (wow, many eloquent, so writer), or just follow the TCTNW playlist on Spotify.
I want to post a teaser soon, but for now, I'll just leave you all with this. What are you writing for NaNo? Leave links in the comments, or just give a synopsis, or whatever you want! I'm so excited!
