So far I'm thinking I will seriously regret doing NaNo this year. I REALLY want to do it, and I'm going to, but school is really weighing on me. It feels like I'm light years behind in math, and my science homework is crazy, when you throw in the rest of my classes plus the "home" work which kind of comes from being homeschooled... Wow.
I guess I'm getting up really early in the coming month. To all of you guys, fellow insane writers, and everyone else too, I'm going to need some serious encouragement this November!
Well I've been working on some plot development and character sheets today. I'll try to post the character sheets soon, but for now here is the brief synopsis. Oh and I don't even have a title yet! Please, suggestions?
This is the story of Lilly, Drew, and Adrian… three people who have so much to learn about their own lives, and how God’s hand as been guiding them, even through the valleys, every step of the way.Lilly is seventeen, though she is on the verge of her high school graduation she still feels like she will never be able to figure out her plans for the future, she is still so caught up in the past. Though she has tried ever since the accident to completely surrender her life, past, present, and future to the Lord, her twin brothers death still haunts her. And her arm displays a terrible scar, a daily reminder of the tragedy she was helpless to prevent. Her deceased brothers two best friends newly discovered love for her just adds to the confusion as she becomes the reason for their division. Soon the shocking discovery that Tommy’s death wasn’t an accident, and that there is a killer who is determined to finish the job he started nine years earlier, brings Lilly to the edge of sanity, and she has yet to learn that this is only the beginning.Adrian’s eighteenth birthday is a few months away, but his deepest wish is to just be eight years old again. He wishes he and Drew both could be transported back to the simple carefree days before Tommy’s death. The days when you could trust because you had never been forgotten, when you could believe because you had never been forsaken. Those days were over. Now Adrian had no one but Drew, and Drew had no one but Adrian. Everyone else, God included, had abandoned them… or at least that’s what is felt like. But all of a sudden life had thrown a new twist at them, Lilly. She had always been there, yet it was like Adrian was only truly seeing her for the first time. Only there was one problem, Drew felt the same way. Life had taken from Adrian everything that mattered most, and had refused to grant him the little he’d asked for. Would he find true hope in Jesus before it was to late?Drew doesn’t want to grow up. He knows it’s inevitable, but he’d rather just curl up and die. If it wasn’t for Adrian that’s exactly what he would do. But, when eight year olds take an oath of friendship there is no going back. So though life (in his opinion) has thrown him more lows then he deserves he keeps on keeping’ on, his anger at God forever in the forefront of his mind. But when both he and Adrian reveal their feelings for Tommy’s sister to be a little more than brotherly, tempers flair and lifelong bonds are broken. But another terrible event is on the horizon, and when in the days following Drew’s long forgotten father appears out of no where will the strain of life without a true Father to guide him push Drew over the edge?
