We all end up running from something at one point or another in our lives. The only difference is what we are running from. Our world is torn apart by war, the light rules it with an iron fist and kills anyone who stands against them. So we ran away, and we ran fast. We traveled across the universe to another world entirely, were we try to fit in among the humans.
The problem is that you can't run forever, and sooner or later the thing you are running from is going to find you.
The awesome idea behind my NANO this year. I don't know normally pick out themes or anything, but I was listening to Pandora and a song about running popped up and it sort of clicked and solidify the idea I already had about running away into something bigger. I'm going to attempt 3rd Person, and stick with it if it kills me. I have 4 characters somewhat planned. 2 Girls, and 2 Guys. I want more characters then that.
I don't think they all really run away together, but some how they sort of end up in the some place by some design of fate. The story is actually going to need planning and that pretty much kills me because I hate planning things. We'll see how it goes I suppose. I am excited for it though. It's kind of like... my first bout of CAMP NANO. I was excited for my story, and it came out pretty good in the end.
I am sticking with my theme of writing about things no one else wants to ever write about in stories.
My first two babies that I have a concrete idea about is Jolyon and Delythi. Both are arranged to be married to the other, but neither wants the marriage to go through. They are good friends but realize it'll never be anything more.
Jolyon is a bit genderfluid, I think that is the term I want. He's biologically a boy, he's comfortable for the most part being a boy. Some days he wakes up though and just feels like a girl.
Del.. crap. I got them mixed up. Ashtyn is the one he is in an arrange marriage with, or he was suppose to be. I might change it now.
Well, Del is on the run from Hunters because she supposedly murder someone... high up... in the light court. Yes, Yes I am plotting this as I type this out. That is how my brain works.
I think this other character, Keir, might be my Seer who is slowly slipping into madness. Him or Brendan. He's running away from his abilities. I'm not sure how this will work yet. I need to plot them further.
