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.

So... I realized that I might be doing this wrong... ^^' I've just been writing random snippets of scenes, but I think the traditional NaNo goal is to start from the first chapter and go on from there? Honestly, though, I have no idea where to start, so I guess I'll just keep bouncing around until I find someplace worth starting...

Honestly there's no wrong way to do it! Keep doing your thing and following the inspiration <3
