NaNo !
So, I've decided I'm going to attempt to do a NaNo. It's going to be an nontraditional NaNo though. I have three novellas in my head that I'd like to write, one is for UL3 and two are for Vice. I've already written 1K-2K for each of them previously, but I'm not going to count those pre-written words towards my goals.
I'm also going to be going back in and editing my Nanos since these are pretty short stories. I hope working on these as NaNos will give me time to stretch out the novellas more.
I mentioned in Lile's comments a while ago that I wanted to write a paranormal romance type thing...the only issue is I have 0 ideas. As I've been going back through some older posts I realized that I was working on HMLIS and Vice at the same time and then I was working on Vice 2 and UL3 at the same time.
Update: Okay, so...I started randomly writing this weird, formless fantasy space opera about aliens, a trained killer and the zombie apocalypse...that may or may not be based on The Wizard of Oz. If I ever actually wrote it it would need a lot of work so I think it will be in the vault for a while.
Anyway, you can find me here: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/shawnaharrison
When I signed up for my account I completely forgot that I already had a NaNo account. In 2012, Vice was my NaNo and I only got about 700 words logged before I forgot to keep updating...I kind of want to see how many words Vice is now.
For now I'm calling my novellas Little Revolutions because that's kind of what I wanted to change the name of UL3 to. I'm also calling it that because one of the Vice novellas takes place in the future and is sort of about how the same things keep happening over and over again.
House Tour
So, a few of you have been asking about Rhett/Juliana's house and it's really hard for me to find picspirations because the kind of house they live in isn't one people have picspirations for...so I went on to Redfin and looked in the Louisiana area to see if I could find some houses that were close. #procrastination. It's funny sifting through photos online I realize I'd imagined their house more specifically than I thought.
So, this house is close except imagine it without that paths to the front door and the shrubs. I imagine them as having just plain green shrubs. Also, imagine the neighboring houses a farther away.
As for the inside for the house, it's older and it has wood paneling so it looks something like this, except with new carpet
Recap
Life has been going well for Rhett and Juliana a year after Hurricane Katrina; they've moved into his grandparents empty house, he works at the New Orleans base and she's joined the church and becoming friends with Amber Cunningham--Rhett's ex-girlfriend who is marrying Rhett's cousin, West.
Then a user on Topix name AnonymousBitchslap posted a link to Brad's porn site where Juliana was the star and Rhett's cousin West posts it on Facebook so most of the town sees it too. Juliana is humiliated at a story time in church when she is asked to leave because of the videos and she breaks down and neglects Mason for two days. When Rhett finds out he is furious with her, while also trying to make all of this go away.
When Juliana won't get out of bed Rhett calls her Dad to take her since he has to go back to work. When Juliana realizes Mason isn't going to CT with her she gets upset and they have forcefully remove her from the house. She also drops the bombshell that their marriage license got denied because of her previous marriage.
Now Mason is with Rhett's aunt while Rhett goes back to work and Juliana has been taken to Connecticut and she is not super happy about it....
