Nanowrimo15 Histoires

Holly Jenkins wasn't an average girl. If you asked her what she was, her answer would be "Different." She was a bohemian, bibliophile, classic film enthusiasts, sister, student, waitress, cashier, amateur singer and pagan. Holly knew exactly who she was, until the death of an elderly woman she had never even met inexorably altered her world forever.

Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers. When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

Order within the Alliance has always been impeccable when present. Which is, of course, all the time. But when the flawless system takes on a whole new perspective through what the students of the Third County assume to be simply cognitive thinking tests, a new age rises. A new age, which will bring more advancements and technologies, but possibly disruption. Possibly. Nova Almong has never excelled at cognitive thinking, being sandwiched in the middle of her County's intellect levels. But what surprises everyone is that she passes--with flying colors. As Nova is taken into a new world, she learns information and skills beyond her prior knowledge. Though thoroughly convinced that she is nothing special, she struggles to keep up with the others--and accidentally shuts down her virtual utopia of a country--for good. As the people of the Alliance struggle to survive, they finally receive a taste of danger, survival, flaw; and most importantly, reality. ~ Highest: #374 in Sci-Fi [rewriting/revising]

You are either classified as a Reject or Evolved. You have a gift or you have nothing. Humans went extinct so long ago it isn't even recorded in the history books anymore. We started off as Evolved, every being that was born obtained a gift early in their lives. Sometimes these gifts are extraordinary such as ability over an element, and sometimes they are more suited to everyday tasks such as the ability to speak and understand all languages. Each gift has its place in society and they are treasured above all. Then one day a pair of identical twins were born. Their anatomy, unseen to the eye, was different than the Evolved, more humanlike. As they grew they discovered they had no gift. There is something in their DNA that doesn't allow them to obtain a gift. They were given the name of Rejects and each one of their descendants was passed on with this classification, and lack of gift. Although we live in peace both Evolved and Rejects, they blame us. They blame all identical twins, and we are looked down upon for something that we could not prevent. My sister and I are Rejects, born from Evolved parents, but when I saved my sister from a near death experience a gift inside me was triggered. Society would call it a miracle, but we know what it could really mean. Death. Experimentation. Chaos. Our only option is to run and try to find a safe haven, because if we are discovered it will be our end.

"The Nyxta have powers but they're only power hungry." "The Alaligera have mutations but they're only mutants." "The Asyata have...the internet? But hey, they don't have 3000 years of hate." -- Bri Dillon is not always a boy, nor is Bri Dillon always a girl. However, they have always been a Nyxta-- shapeshifter, to be precise--and a life of borrowing people's identities really opened up their mind to understanding people without judgement. It also means they've been a fraud for all their life, but now it was time to settle at Bruxwarry Academy for Nyxta and Alaligera and start being honest with themselves, starting with their gender. However, some secrets are meant to stay in the dark, and Dakota Doyle, the ruthless Alaligera news reporter who will stop at nothing to broadcast the most interesting stories, will find Bri's past scandals fascinating. Unfortunately for Bri, the two of them are requested to host an ordinary girl with extraordinary gadgets. Together. Meanwhile, tensions between the Alaligera and Nyxta are rising, both within the Academy's walls and outside of them. The slightest catalyst could set off the war that had been looming for years, and the school is the perfect breeding grounds for conflict that could explode into a battle. With the addition of the Asyata, who have no knowledge of the other two races' capabilities--or rivalry, strategies to save the world could easily be turned against it. The only thing that the Bruxwarry students can do now is hope their training could support unity over destruction.

This is the journal of a walk through writing an entire novel in a month, as it happens. This includes thoughts, tools, struggles, and planning strategies. I wrote 78,000 words for the novel in the month of November, 2014, and this is the journey of writing it. I wrote this journal at the same time as the novel, each day reporting on what I was struggling with as I wrote. At the end, I have included notes on my 2015 NaNoWriMo novel.
