Number of NaNos: 'Tis my first this year...if I actually do it >.>
'08 NaNo: Crushed Crush (horrible, I know; but I just got this random idea and started writing it, and usually I have the title first, so...that's what I came up with ^^;] EDIT: Name change! Yes! It's simply Crushed now. ;)
[b]Genre:
Romance. Though I think there's going to be more to it than that, just 'cause I can't stand writing straight romance...
Plot idea:

Vague idea is--girl meets guy at dance. Girl falls for him and doesn't even realize it. Guy starts dating another girl; girl is heartbroken. Girl becomes depressed. Guy eventually breaks up with other girl over something and/or notices first girl's depression...that's if I decide I want a happy ending. If happy ending, guy asks girl out, girl goes from depressed to hyper; happy-ending-yet-to-be-made. :P No happy ending--...I don't want to think about that. O.o Think I'll go for happy ending. xD

More-defined idea is-- Amelia Darrell is our girl. She's rather tomboyish, and hangs out with the guys almost more than makes sense for a female sophomore (but not in a perverted way). She isn't into dating (a late bloomer) and only reluctantly wears makeup on special occasions. That changes at her sophomore Homecoming, when she meets handsome junior Eryk Bryant on the dance floor and falls head over heels for him...though she doesn't realize it at the time. Her day-to-day actions around school and over the summer are inextricably linked to this hidden pulse in her heart, only coming to a head when she finds out he's dating someone else nearly a year later. It's almost more than she can take, and she becomes despondent. She's sure he'd never fall for someone like her, as there's hardly been enough time for him to get to know her even less than she has gotten to know him. But she gets a break almost a year later when (in her junior year), he breaks up with that previous girl. Can she pull herself out of the hole she's fallen into in time to do something before the school year ends?

[b]Times done NaNoWriMo: Never before.
'08 NaNo Name: The Screwup Letters
Genre: Young Adult
Plot Idea: Alice, the narrator, is writing a series of letters to a person named James, whose identity is revealed at the end of the story. Basically, she befriends 4 people who start a club called "Assholes Anonymous", similar to Alcholics Anonymous, etc. It's for people who have messed up big-time, which is a trait that everyone in this group shares. It's pretty much a therapeutical step for Alice.

That's a crude summary for it, pretty much. I could tell it more eloquently, but it's the basic idea. The story is written similarly to the style of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, though it's a female account, I guess, with less sex and stuff. Originally Alice was never in my mind as part of the group, it was just the four (Hayley, Ryne, Ian, Nickolas) people and it was supposed to be in 3rd person, but I thought it needed a wallflower view, and that is how Alice came about.

My story is about a girl who is writing in NaNoWriMo for the first time. It talks about everything, and includes excerpts from her story, which is about a girl who can see the future. Then there is an epilouge in the end where she becomes a world-famous writer.

You can see how when I started writing, I hit a major writer's block. I think it worked out, though.
Peepsls on this website ought not to be so hatin against other writers!

It's hella hard just to post your stuff to this place, yo!

'08 NaNo Name: The Sign of Peace (might change)
Genre: realisitc fiction/young adult
Plot Idea: So this girl, Alyssa, goes to her dad's house for the summer as normal. Her dad's a really cool guy, overly friendly, and sometimes too nice for the business running man he is, but he does a good job taking care of the store he owns, and Alyssa works at. A mysterious guy comes in one day looking for a job, and Alyssa has a crush immediately (which isn't that uncommon for her, but still). But what happens when her dad finds out that that guy has been living in his car and invites him to live with them? ...Strange things...
