NaNoWriMo!

I was going to be sensible and NOT participated in NaNoWriMo this year (That's National Novel Writing Month to you sane people,) but I couldn't help myself. So, any writing during November will probably be centered around my attempt at those lovely 50,000 words. I participated and finished last year, so I've got high hopes for this year!

It's going to be a post-apocalyptic mystery called Menagerie (and yes, the first word is kinda cheesy, but it's accurate) and I'm really excited. For your "pleasure," here is the current synopsis. I'll probably change the title at some point, but I wanted something to save the documents under. Ahem.

Gwen Eyre lives a quiet live alone. She spends most of her time reading, playing with her pet bunny, and defending herself against the hordes of bio-engineered creatures that try to kill her every night.

Gwen lives very alone indeed, being one of only two survivors in her town. She doesn't remember anything of the time before it went wrong, and appropriated her last name from Jane Eyre, the first novel she remembers reading. But she's adapted well to the new rules of the world, and has created a reasonably normal life for herself. The only other survivor--a slightly mysterious man named Jack with slightly mysterious contacts--provides enough social contact to keep her sane.

But then Jack's brother shows up, and Gwen's life becomes a lot more complicated. . . and a lot more dangerous.
