Yeah, forgot to mention I can't post on Sundays. Sort of a house rule.
BUT! I started the novel yesterday, and I'm at 12k today! :D
It's a little crazy. I did 10k yesterday and 2 more today...
And, like every other year, I have no reward system. I just sit here writing endlessly with no way to clap myself on the back and say, 'go for that extra 800 words!'
So sad.
BUT SO HAPPY!

The End of Camp
Camp NaNoWriMo June... has ended!
But my novel hasn't. 72,000 words into it, and the main villain still needs to at least come close to completing his quest, the Captain still has to face off with the General, my warriors need to regroup, and above all, the huge amazing plot twist has to take effect!
Then, of course, the big battle at the end.
It seems there's so much left to do... but at least I know it'll be as big as its prequel
---
Speaking of camps... how about August 'WriMo? I've planned my novel called 'The Truth' over at the site, and although it's not my usual cup of tea (genre-wise) I'm going to experiment with it a little. And I'll be experimenting again in April when I attempt a sci-fi comedy... wow.
Still! The Truth is probably going to be the deepest, thickest, most meaningful book I've ever written, and although it's a newbie cast, I still can't wait to dive it... so much to anticipate! x_x

Flight
Hey, did you scroll down and see the dude at the bottom of my blog? Well, his name is Andael, and even though 'Flight' isn't really hitting theaters this April, I've chosen to take that novel and spruce it up for publishing - but not before I add the scenes I've been meaning to add since last April, when I wrote it during my Script Frenzy double challenge.
Please comment on this basic plot outline/summary!
---
Set in a futuristic, semi-scifi Earth-based setting, 'Flight' centers around the story of four "Supernaturals", or power-wielding humans who are scattered sparsely from each other, always forced to keep their otherworldly talents a secret, living disguised among the humans and forever cursed by their differences. The quartet of young people pull together but are pushed into hiding for fear that they will be discovered by the untrusting, fearful, and sometimes biased humans; they train together in the deep country until, when the book begins, they are discovered but suddenly and unpleasantly kidnapped.
Bane Larron, the Supernatural's malevolent captor and the unfeeling orchestrator of the Supernatural Plan, relishes the thought of four such rare beings at his disposal, and the intelligent scientist uses threats and even violence to keep the prisoners under control, even at the expense of earning his only teenaged daughter's displeased anger. Things go quite well according to his plan, until the Supernaturals prove to be much more powerful than he anticipated, in more ways than one.
Over the course of one day and in one place, the Supernaturals must fight their way past Bane's guards, weapons, and machines, trying to find their way toward the woods and, ultimately, freedom. Along the way they meet Andael, Bane's right-hand man, but whose side is he really on? He claims to have known Larron for longer than he cares to remember, and follows the man's orders to the letter in capturing the Supernaturals, but when he faces them alone, he's a different man. Wary of his trust, Laticia, the group's leader, is left helpless in the face of attack after attack. On top of it all, each member relapses into his or her past, reflecting on what brought them here, who they are, and why - and none of it is pleasant.
But the real question is: will they ever escape alive? Bane is as ruthless as he is knowledgeable, and with his hands on the most technologically advanced, anti-energy weapons of the age, he will leave nothing behind without first making sure it's left maimed or dead. Left powerless, the small group is forced to leave behind everything they believe about the captors and even what they knew about each other before they can escape. Andael and Erica, Bane's meek daughter, try to help, but whose trust are they looking to secure? There's only one way to find out, and only one way to escape.
Destroy the source of power - Bane's anti-energy dome.
