Countdown to Nano…

So another year has passed, and while the veil to the other side is at its thinnest, humanity prepares for what comes next: another November, another Nanowrimo.

What’s Nanowrimo again? Here’s a reminder:

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. 

On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on November 30.

And that’s that. And on that note, I’ve been pondering about what to write, and decided to have a go at one of this year’s biggest blockbuster anticipations, Suicide Squad, in which a group of DC villains is forced to work together to save the world in service of a shady government organisation, in order to get their sentence reduced or in order to not die.

So I figured I’d take that idea a little bit further (as has happened in previous Nanowrimo exploits…) and expand the idea: what if it’s not just DC villains, but shady characters from all corners of human’s creative exploits: books, movies, games, anime, and comics of course.

And there you have it. I am ready for Nanowrimo 2016 now.
