So, uh, what is going on here?

Good question, anonymous question-asking title person.

This will be the main site and home to a short novel I am penning in the month of November as part of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo as they like to call it. For the uninitiated, NaNoWriMo is just a fun (yet insane) method of writing at least a 50,000 word novel starting on November 1st and ending on November 30th.

Well, that's all fine and dandy like sour candy, but what's with the title and the format of this blog thingee here?

Another good question. As it stands right now, "(In)Human Nature" is the working title of my novel. The planned format right now will be a preview, possible character bios, and random music selections that I think fit in with the theme of the novella in progress. In November, I will be posting a chapter as I finish it and hope to have the entire project posted by the end of the month.

Then what?

Who knows? Leave it here for the

world to peruse and possibly mock at their will? Use it as a base to expand it into a bigger novel word-wise? Bugger all? Haven't got *that* far into my thinking yet. All I know is I would like to have the story finished within the month, plot holes be damned. Then hopefully fix things like that in the coming months.

So you've obviously done this before. What happened with your other projects?

I have them on another blog. One is as finished as I think I want it to be finished. I left one on a massive cliffhanger that I may be inspired to finish once this sprint is done. The last one, I dunno what I plan to do about it. Maybe revisit it and see where I was going with it as I totally lost focus on it.

So does this mean "Apocalypse Wow! 2!" will be finally done?!

Quiet you! :P

Sorry. But how will this differ from last year?

Well, for one, I think my real life situation won't be as hectic as last year was. Second, I think if I return to something to a bit of my comfort zone, I might be more focused. Third, hard to say really. You just have to tune in to find out, won't you?

Indeed I shall. So what's this story going to be about?

I will have a more detailed preview later but here's a cliff notes version of it: a vampire living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada launches a lawsuit against the mainstream entertainment industry for its portrayal of his species. He wins the suit, and inadvertently becomes a figurehead for a movement in obtaining equal rights for the undead. Meanwhile, a series of unexplained murders are investigated by a hard-nosed female detective struggling with a literal beast within - she's a werewolf who struggles keeping her two worlds separate from each other. Making matters worse for her is an Ukrainian werewolf hunter is brought onto the case, as well as her room-mate - a ghost who was the former tenant of her condo and has no desire moving on - tests her patience and could expose her past.

Sound... interesting... yet familar...

Well I think there are some obvious influences, but I am hoping to make a somewhat original narrative based off those influences.

Okay then. Good luck.

Thanks. Just keep checking back here for more content as it comes.
