Accidental Apocalypse

Woo! I'm doing NaNoWriMo again this year, and the title of mi novel is 'Accidental Apocalypse'. It's about zombies. It shall be awesome.

Haha, seriously. I'm really excited for this. I am at a little over 7,000 words right now, and I'm hoping to reach 10,000 words by the end of the day. Though I'm kind of procrastinating right now by typing up this blogpost... mehehehe... I'm actually racing one of my friends, Kathleen, to 10,000 and I'm terrified that she will beat me. XD

While I'm really excited for this, I'm also kind of afraid of it. I've never done something of this magnitude in such a teeny amount of time. I mean, yeah, I did it June, but that was a really easy story. I knew about what I was writing. It was personal. It was simple. And I didn't have about a bajillion characters to develop. :P

Seriously. There are so many characters in AA it's insane. I've got...

Peter
Aubrey
Mackenzie
Chelsea
Piper
Sarah
Nate
Luke
Roland (<---my personal favorite, just because he's so... weird)
Mr. Hanson
aaaand
I think that's it.

Yeah. I think the maximum amount of well developed characters I've ever had, was... 4? :P Ahaha, In TDD, I think the only truly developed characters were Aiden, Riley, and Roy. It was terrible. I look back on that story and wonder what the heck was possessing me to write it.

In LtbB, Gavin, Aislyn, Linc, and Lily were the most developed. Callie and Pierre had personality, of course. Callie was the smart model, and Pierre was the gay designer that acted as a bit of comic relief, but I don't really think they had a huge impact on the plot line.

^Those^ characters up there are going to have so much more depth to them than any of the other supporting characters have.

Peter will be a cowardly hero.
Aubrey... well she's the main character. XD
Mackenzie... is mildly important.
Chelsea is a baby. She doesn't do much.
Piper is a bit odd, but will come in handy during the apocalypse.
Sarah is quiet, but brilliant.
Nate is gallant. Like Lancelot or something. He could be a knight of the round table.
Luke shows his bravery in the most unlikely of ways.
Roland... mehehe, Roland. Roland is just awesome.
Mr. Hanson.. well, he's the start of this whole thing. And he goes a little... wooooooo...

Reading over that, I realize that my little blurbs don't actually make any of them seem important. Especially Chelsea. XD

Oh well.

OH!
Before I go.
I want to share a bit of description that I'm actually really proud of. XD

Everyone... meet Mr. Hanson:

Mr. Trevor Hanson was not your typical English teacher. In fact, I really don't think he was your typical person. Almost every day he would come in with a different, ugly, obnoxiously-touristy Hawaiian shirt. His thick, orange-y red hair was always slicked back on the sides, but he let a single curly-cue break free from the rest of the pack and lay against his forehead like the old-school Superman. My friend, Piper, and I had speculated in our freshman year that underneath all of his atrocious shirts he wore his superhero uniform, just in case an emergency ever struck the school. Our theory was proven faulty, however, when the fire alarm went off that same year for drill and he screamed like a girl. Watching a five-foot-ten, two-hundred pound man shriek and bounce up and down was definitely one of the most amusing things to happen that year. To his credit, he did make sure that all of the students got out of the classroom before he did, but after that I couldn't take him seriously. I stuck around in his classes after that, hoping that such an incident would happen again.

Au revoir(:
