hi! my name is rachel, and i'm sixteen, and i live in a town over from naperville. this is my third year doing nanowrimo, but i've never actually finished it before. usually i get distracted by school, and i give up.

i know how to use proper capitalization, but i just don't really like doing it. i have an unhealthy addiction to smilie faces, and i struggle with picking favorites. however, my favorite movie ever is the phantom of the opera. a+ movie/book/musical/etc. anyway.

my novel is a real life story about a girl who struggles to find herself in her town~. i'm not exactly sure how else to describe it, to be honest, but my novel synopsis is...

Kaelin Wellmen is almost absurdly normal. Her life is normal, her family is -- almost -- normal, her school is normal; she feels as if she was doomed to live in a perpetual state of normalcy. This is, of course, until Spring Break comes around, and a group of tourists come through, ready for a wild week of parties and fun.
Nathaniel Phillips, a stereotypical island tourist, decides that Kaelin Wellmen is exactly the change he needs from his everyday life. Kaelin is thrilled to finally be a part of something, but to actually be someone, she'll have to escape her personal bubble, and maybe go against some of her own personal beliefs to be someone different.

so yes! i'm hoping to attend some of the write-ins, or at least do something relatively social so i don't have to sit locked up in my room typing. (8
