National Novel Writing Month

The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words - a full-length novel - in just 30 days. This is my first year to try it!

The synopsis of my novel:
Once upon a time, there were two girls. One was named Kris, and the other was named Kelsie. The two of them were very similar – both had chin-length blonde hair, both had dark chocolate eyes, both were sophomores in high school. Kris was sixteen, and Kelsie was fourteen, but she would be fifteen by the time this novel was over. Both lived in Frisco, Texas.

There was only one fundamental difference:

Kelsie was a writer, and Kris was a character.

Other than that, they were pretty much identical. And anyway, if you asked Kelsie, Kris wasn’t so much of a character as a friend. See, Kelsie had thought so hard and so long about Kris, and waited so impatiently for November to come so she could start writing, that Kris had seemed less and less like a character and more and more like a real person. In fact, Kris even helped Kelsie out sometimes when Kelsie got stuck.

And Kelsie was most definitely stuck.

Kris heard about this problem. Considering that she was in Kelsie’s head, she pretty much knew all of Kelsie’s issues. And Kris decided to do something to help. She very kindly volunteered to be a guinea pig of sorts – to help Kelsie find her genre, as it were. And since Kris was a writer as well (and an aspiring poet… except for the part where her poetry is almost as bad as the Vogons’ in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”), maybe she could give Kelsie some pointers. And, of course, completely obliterate the fourth wall along the way.
