Guys, Guys, Guys! It's Camp NANO time for June. Like the weird person that I am I decided I am not only going to do NANO in November I am also going to do it in June, and again in August because I like I torturing myself.
So I decided to go the NANO Rebel route this year and I started on my story 3 days early. Between my classes, getting read to move to Ohio, and then having to drive back and forth to Atlanta (Ugh, 4 hour car trip) I figure I could use the extra days. I'm going to try to make it fair by ending 3 days early, and instead of shooting for 50K I am going for 75K this time around.
I'm loving the story so far though. I'm about 3K into it. It's with 5 different POV though Conner comes in mid-story. It starts off with them in a shrink office being interviewed before a live audience about who they are, and what they do. I think something bad happens and now the world knows that people who powers exit. I'm loving it though, and all there faults. It'll be interesting to see how I bring 5 kids from different circles together.

4 Minutes
It take about 4 minutes (or the entire length of The Frays "Look After You") to pretty much rip off every story known to man that features either super heroes, or teenagers with the power over the elements. Which because I am using a cliche plot I'm not to worried about... I suppose? I'm taking the idea and making it my own anyways.
Thousands of years ago it is said that the Earth was split into 4 different kingdoms- Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Reigning over those Kingdoms was the embodiment of Spirit who was said to unite the 4 kingdoms in the time of it's greatest needs. All was peaceful in the lands until one day darkness fell and seem to change everything in an instant. The King of Spirit and 4 Warriors who held the power of the elements the lands stood for rose up against the evil darkness and pushed him back into the earth, sealed away for what they hoped to be forever but at a terrible cost. The King of Spirit lay dying and with it all the magic in the land.
It changed the world forever.
In modern day earth the world is changing though nobody knows it. A prophecy foretelling the return of the evil has been foretold and in the earths greatest hour of need 5 will arise who bear the power to destroy him once and for all.
Oh ya. There my beautiful plot line and unfleshed lore for my June Camp NANO story. It's the first time I'm actually plotting and fleshing it out to a lot of detail. August I plan to wing-it and we will see what November helms.
