diannaamarichThis year, I got inspired. I decided to try Nanowrimo (www.nanowrimo.org) and I am having fun.
When Nanowrimo is done, I'll share the novel if asked. It'll be 50k words of story, anyway. I am having fun with this premise. I have decided to make the blind of the world the bad guys for this one, and I am loving it! The trick is getting it all down in a way that makes sense.
It occurred to me to try this because, well, we don't see too many stories where you have blind guys as villains. I know J.C. Hutchins did one, but I wanted to do something more. They aren't murderers--not yet, anyway--but they have the world, or at least the country--in an iron grip. My main character is not even sure if she is normal, because being able to see is not normal, anymore. They take care of that defect at birth. Or, they are supposed to.
Eric decided to do a variant that he's done for the past couple of years--he's writing one short story or vignette a day in November. You can check them out at
