I just thought I go ahead and write a post about NaNoWriMo since its only *2* days away!!!! I am so excited! Carmen and I are both doing NaNoWriMo following this calender:
(click on it and it should open a new window/tab with it in it, then just select "print")
And these are our novel ideas:
Carmen's Idea:
Title: Sucked In
Sucked in is (will be) about the main character - a 13-year-old girl named Allie. When Allie's family moves to a totally new place, with a new school, and new people, Allie feels left out, and homesick for her old town and friends. Allie is struggling with loneliness, and feeling lost in the world, hungry for something real. She knows about Jesus, but He isn't a big part of her life. When she gets into a fight with her parents when she finds out they're getting divorced, she wonders if her life is worth living. But she is in for an experience that will change her life forever...
My (Ella's) Idea:
Title: StarStruck
When Ellie moves into a new town, she has no friends, no one likes her. Ellie also doesn't know the Lord, neither of her parents are believers. When she begins her new school, no one likes her except for four girls who she thinks are her friends. When she doesn't make their popularity and beauty expectations, they ditch her. Then, her brother dies and then she really has no one. One night she wishes on a star that she would meet a real friend. A week later, she finds a friend. a true friend, in an unlikely way, that no one really gets or understands... and that friend, will change her life forever...
(and then I'd thought I'd post our best friend Becca's idea:)
Title: RRR- Really Random Rebecca
(she is the only one of "us" that has updated her cover photo...)
My novel, Really Random Rebecca is a story about two girls named Rebecca Robinson and Rebecca Johnson. They (might have been pen-pals first) become next-door neighbors when Rebecca R.'s dad (and hence, whole family) move for work. Rebecca J. is a very normal, popular girl who cares about what other people think about her. Rebecca R, however, is Really Random Rebecca and likes it that way. She does things her way and couldn't care less what anyone (besides her family) thinks about her. But as time progresses, they become good friends. Throughout the book they learn many lessons about friendship, being loyal, and differneces. It should be fun and interesting to write and read!! =) Really Random Rebecca p.s. this is very tentative....don't forget, I'm random!!!
So yup, as you might be able to tell, WE ARE ALL SUPER DUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS CONTEST (not really a contest, but you know what I mean...)
As the barefoot sisters would say:
BIBI (bye bye!)
