My NaNo this year is about a 25 year-old princess whose ailing father has bequeathed the entire kingdom to whoever of his two lovely daughters gets married first. Miotke, called Mio by her family, is the older of the two being sturdy and yet elegant in word and deed. Her younger sister Lilyblade, affectionately Lil or LB, is the more princess-ly of the two being willowy and timid.
Of course, the Main Female Character (MFC) must be independent or there wouldn't be much of a story. I mean, them only ever doing what they're told is rather boring and not at all inspiring. So Miotke, fed up with nobles flocking for her hand in marriage, runs away to let her emotions run wild in peace. At this point she meets Emory, who seems to be the Main Male Character (MMC) but he isn't. Emory's a pretty typical hermit, hates people and the world, wants to loose himself in nature - except that he's only 27. The MMC is Knight Dener Redstone pursuing Miotke under the guise of loving her.
This is the time where these seemingly random people get thrown together in a wild adventure crossing oceans and continents looking for adventure and freedom. Will Emory ever get rid of this over emotional yet independent female? Will Miotke find the freedom she's looking for, or will she be forever trapped in the role of princess? What are Dener's true feelings? What insanity will ensue?
Stay tuned for more Miotke this November!
I won't be posting actual excerpts for copyright reasons. I will post basic outline/paraphrases for you invisible people to enjoy. I love writing and am excited to blog my journey through NaNoWriMo next month. Sometime before the 1st I'll write some more about what I plan on doing for NaNo.

Slice-of-life from a married 22 year old Christian female extrovert, choleric/sanguine if you must know, who enjoys life, especially the little things (rosebuds, all the shades of blue in the sky, fleece pj pants, grass tickling barefeet, blowing underwater bubbles, etc).

National Novel Writing Month - November
Today is good. God has made it. God has given me all my talents. This being said - I love writing. Last year I was introduced to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November. I am in love with it! The idea of writing 50,000 words in thirty days is brilliant. Last year I failed miserably. I started ten days late and finished 40,000 words short.
Today I am empowered. I think 50,000 words in 30 days from scratch (a never been written idea) sounds great; a chance to let creativity flow without the hindrance of perfection, editing, or procrastination. It's a fast paced two pages a day race to the finish line with bragging rights for a prize. The NaNoWriMo store is full of clothing, objects, and awareness posters.
I'll be posting my journey through NaNoWriMo right here throughout November. I hope to post more than twice a week. While there may be no one who reads this ever, anyone who does should check out:
