Have you heard of
NaNoWriMo? Here's a link to
be my writing buddy! I'm doing it this year, but I also have a short story to finish for an anthology I'm going to be in so I don't think I'll be hitting 50,000 words during the month of November. Why am I still doing it? It's really fun! It's a great community of writers! I still haven't gone to one in all my years doing NaNoWriMo but there are cool local "write ins" where you can go to a local shop and write with a bunch of other people. I should go to one someday. And even though I probably won't get to 50,000 words I'm still being spurred on to write more than I usually do. Did I mention it's fun? Seeing the meter fill up as you post your daily word count is so awesome!
Here's the info on the book I'm writing for NaNoWriMo this year:
Genre: Horror/Supernatural
Synopsis
A real estate agent finds a secret chamber under a church behind a bus stop bench. Inside are special glasses that help him to see into the spiritual world, and a special sword that can only be seen with the glasses on. It's invisible to the naked eye.
Finds huge houses and mansions that people can't sell because they're haunted. Buys them, destroys the ghosts with the special sword, and then renovates the houses and makes a crazy profit. Is a greedy self centered dude, but he's really cool. Suave and talented.
Something happens to make him choose to use his new found weapons not for profit, but for good. Goes up against a very dangerous group of gouls and in the end makes a selfless act to save someone else who doesn't even deserve it.
