November is the National Novel Writing Month so the aim is to turn out a manuscript of 50 000 words or more by the end of the month. Want to know more? Go here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/about
Giving this challenge a go and will be pushing myself to complete a first draft of a novel by the month's end. Help me get through this challenge by giving me your support and help keep me motivated! Any thing will do! Some encouraging words or a pat on the back once in a while is fine too!
Below is a synopsis of the novel I'll be writing from scratch. Hope you like it! If you want, tell me what you think! Any feedback would be wonderful!
Title: Born From The Ashes: Disgraced
Synopsis
The Ashes is the name given to the slums where the nobility and merchant classes have Fallen and now must reside, as decreed by the High King. Out of favour and out of time, the Forlael family gathered all of what was left of their wealth and courage to escape their fate. Disgraced, the once renowned merchant family were being forced to take a life of slavery or live as the lowliest commoner and they want no part of it. A betrayal disrupts their plans of escape, sending the majority to their deaths or imprisonment. Few who survived were driven into the slums where they live with other Disgraced families. The Forlael, rendered powerless, grit their teeth and quietly bide their time for the opportunity to exact revenge on their betrayers. While they hid in the shadows, strange events in the citadel gave cause for them to question the truth of their demise.
Further comments:
I came up with this title intended for another story when I was studying creative writing for the short time that I had. I workshopped it to use in a short story in class but decided it required the longer setting of a novel. I have a feeling this story will be a Trilogy and 'Disgraced' shall be the first installment and sets the scene for the rest. I'll be experimenting a bit with this, so I hope it all works out in the end. :)
Spoilers Alert!
I may post little excerpts of 'Disgraced' up later, if everything goes well, so keep a look out! xD
Anyways, back to work and write, write, write!!
