A scene from my 2013 NaNoWriMo novel. I hope to one day work on and improve this story, but for now there are plot holes so huge I could drive a tractor through them. It's here mainly as a progress reference.

Summary: When Timothy's older brother - one of the city's superheroes-in-training - dies in action, Timothy secretly takes it upon himself to continue his brother's legacy. As the days become weeks and the weeks become months, Timothy realizes that being a superhero isn't as easy as his brother always let on. While struggling with his new responsibilities, his former hobbies, his schoolwork, a kleptomaniac sidekick, his brother's self-proclaimed girlfriend, and his own conscience, Timothy wonders if the people dressed in flashy costumes are really the city's heroes at all.

Reader Comments: "I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023 "Ahh!!!

Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014)

30 parts Complete

This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.
