Operation NaNoWriMo Plot Organization!

Yup, its that time of year again, filled with writing and all sorts of madness and stress. NaNoWriMo is drawing near.

For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month (but should really be “International“). People around the world have exactly 30 days to complete a 50,000 word novel. A very few of you already know I did this last year, but for the rest who had no clue until this moment, scroll down a ways to Chapter I, and you’ll catch the gist of it :)

Anyways, I think for November I will keep this blog mainly as a log for the novel. If enough people are actual interested, I may even post the chapters themselves here.

A lot of you (as in about three people) have been asking, what’s the plot? Well…like any good science fiction novel, the plot will probably end up being huge, which is good. More to write about=higher word count. The idea was actually inspired by a random thought the week “the end was nigh” and there was supposed to be a black hole, etc.

I’ll try to explain the basics:

Perhaps a hundred years or less from now, we decide to take these little cautious experiments we perform now and get to the real point--make it bigger, figure out what’s really going on in this universe, simply because we can. Of course, as always this is a bad idea, and we end up blowing a sort of hole in the universe (black or “white“, I haven’t decided yet--probably black to make it easier) a little too close to home. We underestimate our own capacities and realize if we don’t get the hell outta Dodge, we’re all fucked. At this point there’ll be a convenient (and not wholly unrealistic) ship capable of traveling at or above the speed of light. Anywhere we can find in this galaxy would have to be only temporary, so we decide to send a ship full of variously talented people through the hole to hopefully find a solution on the other side while the rest of the world tries to figure out what else we can do. What our main characters end up in is a sort of new but extremely rapidly growing universe so different from our own that even the very concept of time is skewed. A planet here similar to Earth only in that its main inhabitants are of near-equal intelligence is possibly their only hope.

Writing this little blurb of information has actually given me a couple new ideas :D Especially for the ending…oooooh, I like it, yisyis, I do.

People very much interested in this project are completely free to give advise or things they think would do well in the story-line. Several of the main characters will be based off of YOU, people of the Circle; some already now who they are/will be, but most will probably have no clue. If you really really really want to be in it, just talk at me anytime and I’ll come up with a place for ya (if I haven’t got one already planned for you :P).

But I’ve written enough, methinks. I’m off to bed.

(Please leave comments on this one--I really need to get some regular feedback on this kind of thing)
