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!!

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!
