NaNo WriMo Mania!
Posted: October 14th, 2009 under blog post.
I am GEARED UP for NaNo WriMo, people. I'm feeling good about my novel's premise and outline. I'm actually excited to write it! (Yeah, I'm gonna look back at this about Nov. 10 and shake my head.)
Anyway, to channel my excitement into something semi-productive, I made graphics for my nonexistent novel. I usually wait till it's written, but what the heck. I made myself a novel cover and an icon:
Okay, so I'm not so sure about the title. It's descriptive, but I can't decide if it's edgy or stupid. It'll do for now.
Lastly, here's the synopsis for my NaNo Novel:
Eh. It needs some tweaking, too. But it's a good start. I can't believe I have to wait 17 more days to start writing. (Again, I'll be looking back and shaking my head once November is actually upon us.)

Lastly, here's the synopsis for my NaNo Novel:
After a car crash kills her parents and twin sister, seventeen-year-old Delia finds herself alone in the world. Delia herself only survived thanks to a heart transplant from her brain dead twin. Now Delia is haunted by the ghost of her sister, who tells her that she can’t cross over until her heart stops beating and begs Delia to kill herself.
When a long-lost uncle shows up to claim Delia, it seems like things might be looking up. But it soon becomes clear that this “uncle” isn't who he claims and has very specific plans for Delia. The heart transplant has inadvertently created a unique connection between Delia and the spirit world. Now every necromancer in the Midwest wants to use Delia to punch a hole into the spirit world and gain unlimited power. Unfortunately, that means killing Delia.
Delia is taken in by a psychic who's trying to stop the necromancers. But when it begins to look like the only way to do that is to kill Delia, she wonders how much she can really trust him. Delia's only hope is to forge a truce with her dead twin and find a way to break the connection between them.
