NaPoWriMo

Howdy, howdy, it's Hannah.

While I would love to write 50,000 words in two months like Trinity is with DOOM (it sounds way easier to me than writing them in ONE month), I had this crazy idea awhile back that I would participate in NaPoWriMo.

"NaPoWriMo" stands for National Poetry Writing Month. It takes place during the month of April, which is coincidentally National Poetry Month. How 'bout that. 

Though I don't know much about it, the general idea is to write a poem every day, and at the end of the month you will have with you 30 completed poems (so long as you succeed in your endeavors). It's a creative writing exercise, and though I know I'm not the most eloquent or skillful poet, I'd like to try my hand.

Since DOOM runs through March and April, I would have to focus on both at once if I were to do DOOM. DOOM still sounds like a great idea, and if I'm feeling crazy enough I may do both activities at once. To find out more you might check this NaNoWriMo post about Poem In Your Pocket Day, or the Wikipedia page for NaPoWriMo. The official page for NaPoWriMo, it seems, is not up yet for 2014, but far as I can tell, the address is here.

DOOM! and an Aouthentica Excerpt

Heeeere it is! The long-awaited, barely anticipated excerpt from my NaNo project, Aouthentica. This is about one third of the first chapter, which I'll add the rest of if I get requests for it.

ALSO. Before we get to that, I want to tell you about DOOM. It stands for Definitely O-normous O-uthor Months. It's a variation on NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo.
We'll be writing 50K (50,000) words over the months of March and April.
That's 820 words a day for 61 days. Amanda Wikoff came up with it over at The Ramblings Of A Wayward Author. If you want to do it you should head over there and let her know you're in!

On that note, my goal right now is to finish editing what I already have of Aouthentica by the end of February and then add onto it for all of DOOM.

Onto the excerpt.

Book Recommendations - The Veritas Project

The Veritas Project

 Veritas: meaning truth.

The Veritas Project is a government-funded project investigating supernatural occurrences. The team consists of Nate and Sarah Springfield, and their twin children, Elisha and Elijah, a Christian home-schooling family, who use a Biblical approach to accomplish their missions.

There are only two books in the series, the first being Hangman's Curse, but with this particular series they don't necessarily have to be read in order.

Hangman's Curse: 
Seemingly random students at a school become suddenly sick and begin acting oddly, losing their sanity and believing they see a ghost named Abel Frye. On all of the affected students' lockers, a hangman symbol is placed by a mysterious person or being. Elisha and Elijah Springfield enroll as students to investigate.

Fifteen Minute Story - Number 29

I was never meant to carry the weight of the entire mission. But that's the way it turned out. I never was able to figure out why we weren't extracted when my teammates started dropping like flies. But we weren't, and before long, I was the only one left.
