Synopsis

This is the synopsis that I have posted on my NaNoWriMo profile:


"It was always a given fact in the village of Cadge Down that no-one ever crossed the Burning Grounds into the wood. The salt-sewn mix of ash and deadened soil was the only thing between the locals and the monstrous forest guardian that haunted the edge of the forest, keeping humans out and faerie folk in. The Rotted Knight was the stuff of legends, old legends that struck fear into the hearts of children because here, the legends were real, and you didn't spite tradition.


Mollith was never really one for tradition.


And so, into the woods she went, and to the woods she was bound, the day the Rotted Knight tracked her through the woods and struck a bargain in return. It wasn't long before Mollith realized that perhaps she had underestimated the old legends, and some things were far more dangerous than they first appeared."



For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, here's a short run-through of the basics.  NaNoWriMo, or "National Novel Writing Month", occurs in the month of November, in which writers of all sorts are encouraged to attempt to write a 50k (50,000-word) novel in the span of the month. If this is completed, the NaNoWriMo foundation will print and send you a paperback copy of your work as your reward. If you're still curious and not horribly deterred by the concept of writing 50,000 words in one month, then here's the main website: www.nanowrimo.org . 

Alongside doing NaNoWriMo (this is my second year of attempting the 50k challenge), I am also the online chatroom moderator for a group of writers who also participate in NaNoWriMo each year. We chat often online, doing word wars and exchanging plot points and prompts. Our chatroom is called "Querk", and as a result, we have a blog related to it on wordpress that catalogues our progress and flash fiction pieces. As NaNo is coming around soon, I'm sure it will have a considerable amount of updates in the near future. Here's the link: http://querkthegroup.wordpress.com/. Anyway, I hope whatever readers happen to stumble across this blog enjoy this tidbit of information. I'll be posting sneak peeks at my story, scene snippets, and character concepts/drawings in the near future.
