Whimsicality (the planning version)
I have no idea if I'll have much time to work on Camp NaNo this year, but hopefully I'll at least be able to get an actual plot planned for Whimsicality... ^^' The general idea of silly superpowers has been something I've wanted to write a story for since Camp NaNo 2021, but although I had fun drafting random snippets, I never really had a plan. I think that was one factor that led to me not making much progress during NaNo 2021. So yeah, my main goal is to plan out Whimsicality in preparation for NaNo 2022 (though I might write over the summer too-- we'll see)!
Good luck to everyone doing Camp NaNo this year!! =D
July 2021: Sort-of Superpowered
[NaNo 21] Whimsicality

Spoiler
William’s always known that his destiny is to be a hero. After all, he’s the son of Benjamin Greyn, one of the greatest legends the world has known. But everything about him, from his clumsiness to his hair that simply refuses to be tamed, seems to scream “awkward pre-teen nobody.” Even his whimsy-- a magical quirk that’s unique to everybody-- is rather disappointing. Yeah, buildings can talk to Will, but so what? All his house ever does is complain about the cold and beg Will to clean out the gutters.
So when Will is invited to enroll at the Dewspire School of Whimsicality, he jumps at the chance to attend the prestigious academy and learn how to be more heroic. The only downside? Raina, the daughter of Will’s father’s mortal enemy, will be there too. And from the first day, it’s clear that she’s marked Will as her archnemesis.
But that’s not all; as the school year progresses, it becomes clear that there’s something sinister going on beneath the school’s sunny facade. As students attend classes on campus, something deep under the school grounds is stirring…
One thing’s for sure-- if Will’s going to be a hero, Dewspire is the perfect place to start.
