Long time listener of the show.
I am a life long sufferer of Dysgraphia. My usual outlet for my creative mind has been online and offline RPG's. However I decided to challenge myself in this years NaNoWriMo. I came up with a few ideas, all Sci-Fi. Then had my friends vote on which one to go with. I didn't quite make the 50,000 word goal of NaNoWriMo. but I did end up with what I felt was a good Novelette inspired by the real life research into using the brains own chemistry to make drugs that allow one to defeat the need for sleep.
Blurb:
Avery Dover produces both legal and illegal drugs, with his brain.
CORRD, A new branch of the government, in charge of the management of Orexin-A. Employs him to create one of them. A powerful medication that circumvents the very need for actual sleep.
The other, he makes under the nose of that very organization. “Dream” users experience instantaneous dreams, and is used for its effects of euphoria and relaxation.
What starts as a very small incident in Avery’s life, will end in a way that will change the life of millions.
