NaNoWriMo is right around the corner, and this year, for the
first time ever. I know what I want to write. Well sort of. I’m crossing my
fingers and hoping a sub-plot takes shape while I write. And I don’t know what
point of view the story should be written in. But, my main plot is roughly
outlined, and I have a detailed outline of my first chapter and half. By my
standards, I’m prepped and ready to go.
I even have a rough synopsis.
Deadly Legacy
Upper YA
Kit doesn't know what caused her parents
to become a pair of serial killers, but she worries that the urge to steal
someone's life, to watch them die, lies dormant inside of her, and that someday
something will cause her to snap and follow in her parent's footsteps. To
prevent that from happening, she's frozen her emotions, refusing to feel
anything. She convinces herself that as long as she doesn't let anyone connect
to her, she'll never feel compelled to hurt anyone.
Lance likes to push things to the limit. It's one of the
things that makes him a great cowboy. When he goes to work at her aunt's
feedlot, Lance meet's Kit and falls hard. She's pretty, smart, sarcastic, and
not afraid to tell him to go to hell. He wants her, and he isn't going to let
past scare him the way it has her. He's determined to bring her out of her
shell, and help her learn to feel and experience and enjoy everything that
surrounds her, that letting go and taking chances can be a good thing.
Neither realize they're being hunted by something more
dangerous than Kit's background.
If everything goes according to plan, it will take place in the autumn (I think it has a timeline of about a month) and is going to be set on a cow to calf farm.
Now, I just have to cross my fingers and hope I can stretch it to 50,000 words.

Sounds exciting! I'm venturing into NaNo with a new manuscript, too, and also wrote a loose query beforehand (better now than later!). Best of luck! :)
