End of Nanowrimo...so sad

So, three days ago (sorry it's late to those nonexistant readers) Nanowrimo ended and I reached, not 30,000, not 40,000, not 50,000 but 62,789 words. In. A. Month. Cool huh? Anyhoo, I had tons of fun writing it and now that my novel City Lights on the Water is done, I'll have to think of something else. Below is an excerpt and a synopsis. Oh, and one more thing, on the YWP Nanowrimo site, my username is Ami.

City Lights on the Water

Ben Channing and Olivia Trent are dancers. But they are completely different. Ben Channing has had no professional training, all the training he’s ever had was on the streets of San Francisco. Olivia Trent, on the other hand, is from a well-to-do family and attends a small state of the art private school in New York where she studies mainly classical ballet with a mix of hip hop. But after a car crash that leaves her mom dead and Olivia unable to dance, everything changes. Olivia’s dad suddenly comes into the picture, a man she hasn’t seen or talked to in the past five years and takes her back to San Francisco with him, hoping to make things better, but instead, making them worse. When Olivia and Ben’s worlds collide, the two immediately are drawn together and what seems like the end is only the beginning of a roller-coaster ride of emotion and a twist nobody will see coming.

Excerpt

Prologue
The first time I saw someone dance was when my momma took me to the Coppeilia ballet. When I saw those dancers glide across the stage like swans, I knew what I was going to be when I grew up. Ever since that day, when I was five, I just kept on dancing, I never stopped, it was like the world revolved around me and dancing, it was like there was nothing else, at least, there was nothing else until the day my momma died, then I realized that maybe dancing wasn’t everything. It was time I woke up and saw the world in front of me, not the fairytale that I had been living my entire life.

And here is my winner's badge!!

Woohoo!!!

Sooo....about my Mendocino trip and 4th of July, I'll post those pics later when I can find the camera and when updates aren't clogging the comp! Anyways, yesterday (July 13th) I was on a role. So you guys know how #1 and I and sometimes #3 do this program called Nanowrimo,National Novel Writing Month - takes place in November...) Well, yesterday I decided that I wanted to work on 2009's nano book. I was so absorbed in the writing that by the time I had to go to bed I had written 7,590 words!!! There was a total of 120k or for those of you who don't know what the 'k' means, then I had 120,166 words and 201 computer pages, if it were in book format my book would have 408 pages. I mean, not to brag or anything...

nano...wrimo

Since most you people reading our blog don't know what Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month...the title really does explain my main point...XD) is, I will explain and hope to recruit a few new members!
Nanowrimo: National Novel Writing Month, or also known as, let's write a novel in one month! Sound crazy? Yeah, it's crazy! But even so, it's doable...do able...something like that!
So, here's a summary of my novel!

Remembering Rikke


One girl, one bird, one power, one universe. Rikke Daroth is an ordinary girl in Sundance, CA. Her life is just fine – just fine except for the fact that her parents divorced and that her live is being eaten away by little demons that thrive on her memories and pieces of her soul. As each demon takes away a piece of her life, a new one is returned and soon, Rikke becomes and entirely different person, living in her internal forest. As the days go by, Rikke soon realizes that something is wrong and she sets out on an internal quest to search for her true self.

So that's that! But wait! There's more! Even if there are no physical prizes for nano, there are computer prizes!

So there's one of the...uh, something like five computer posters! Anyways, gotta go (I'm a goin' to the beach!) I'll explain more of it later and hopefully #one will post her summary, maybe later an exerpt will pop up randomly! Okay peeps, Tata for now!

Oh, one more thing. It happens in November, the 1st - 31st!

Screnzy and Nano, two months of literary insanity

Well, seeing as #two hasn't got the pics up yet, I'll fill you in on Nanowimo and Script Frenzy, the two writing projects we're both attempting this year. Actually, both #two and I have done Nano before, she in o8 and 09, me in 09, but this will be our first go at writing Scripts. Personaly, I can't wait, but April is going to be a hectic month, what with the choir trip to LA and the History project being due... But I'll get it all in...somehow. At least I have both my plots! The plot bunnies have been merciful this year.

Here are my projects for this year:

Screnzy: War Child
Sci-fi. Think Joss Whedon's Firefly meets Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. The human race has spread through out the solar system, and the inner planets are at war with the moons of the outer planets over mining rights in the asteroid belt, as well as some other things. Vashi lives on a refugee camp on Triton, after an attack on her home planet Mars. She signs on with a bloquade running ship...and that's all I can tell you at the moment.

Nano: Mother of Worlds
Sci-fi again. After reciving a page out of an ancient book as payment, Kara sells her small trading ship and uses the money to purchase the run down Navigator to search for mankinds planet of origen, Home.

So...there you have it. See ya
