NANO CHALLENGE

So as I sit my pooper down I've begun to ponder what to write for this year's NANO challenge. Why don't you pull up a chair as well and relax before we chat.

First if you're not aware let me get you acquainted with this one month wonder. NANO stands for National Novel Writing Month. This site challenges a person to write a novel, or a great chunk of one, to 50k words inside a month. Once your manuscript is complete they simply do a word count and send you an email reward. The prize for completion is a printable "diploma" acknowledging your achievement. So no, you don't win cash, but what is money compared to confident boost of self esteem? The site is "www.nanowrimo.org" My hyperlink is being stubbron today, apologies.

This will be my second year attempting to thrwat this challenge. Last year I fell victim to my typical Timness and SPRINTED at first knocking out 8k words in a few days. Then the deadly grips of school and work caught me in their strangling grasp and forced my pen away. But this year it'll be different, I swear! No reasons exist to not finish the goal now that I only work part time and dropped out of school, just like the true bum I am.

So I've been brain storming and believe to have a pretty good direction so far on the plot. This quick writ novel is going to be a Fantasy genre taking place in a medieval type era. There'll be a King and Queen, Squires and Peasants, Werewolves and Vampires, Magic and Heathens. You know typical kind of shit.

I know... I know go ahead and roll those eyes. WEREWOLVES AND VAMPIRES? LIKE THAT HASN'T BEEN OVERKILLED!!! There I said it for you... Now give me your ears and see my vision on this concept and topic which has been mushed more than week old roadkill.

The reason Werewolves and Vampires are in the novel is so they can be decimated. And while so they are hideous diseased beings. My main character deals with this specific epidemic of this kingdom's society. So he runs around to keep the internal peace slaying the wolfies and vamps when they are discovered. And I'll repeat, they aren't beautiful or stunning. They are the utter slime of every social ladder. Being one is worst than being a tax collector. What is more awful than paying taxes? Though I admit the werewolves won't look as pathetic as the vamps. Something imaginable as this...

Anyways, basically the unnamed protagonist is part of a group of detectives who have special skills which make them awesome to deal with these paranormal threats.

But at the same time a fierce war is being waged against another rival kingdom. These enemies aren't supernatural though, just a normal land hoarding tyrant after the world. And some how and way which is yet mysterious to me they'll tie together. But the plot line is bound to change since I've only crafted the barest features. The bones are there, it just needs to be constructed.

And so as the days pass before the Sun declares November 1st I'll continue to deviate a creative and crazy story. I'll try to master the widget they offer on the site to keep an active wordcount available on the blog.

Salutations my friends.
