NaNo...Again

Well it's that time of year again. NaNoWriMo is here! w00t! so this year i've gone with (yet another) post-apocolyptic invasion type story without zombies. I have decided to base this year's novel on the theory that China will one day invade the US. after doing a little research i find this strangely disturbing. obnoxiously half the "proof" for China invading us is just some lame "prophecy" crap. someone had a dream abpout chinese people killing americans and therefore the world's coming to an end. idiots.
so anyway it's based loosely off the song Fields of Athenry, the characters, that particular scene described in the song. that's kind of where i got my idea for the big "plot twist" so i'm happy. now i actually have some idea what's going to happen! yay!
i am very excited about this new one, i really like my characters (for now. wait until they get older and more developed and they'll start acting out...) and the setting is perrfect. another evil iittle town (called, of course, Athenry MN).

Niiiice.
I'm at a little over 4,000. I haven't got the exact word count yet.

I guess I'll have to start typing faster to keep up with you.
