Hello, all!

I'm Squiddish, or Katherine, and I live way out in the boonies. Also known as Sugar Grove. I've excited to be back in the game this year and hopefully make it in to some write-ins and all that fun stuff, despite having quite the hectic schedule. (Writing not included.)

I've only 'officially' done NaNo once, and won with 25 words over the bar and like... three hours to go. When I did it the following year, I didn't put any effort at all into it and rather, just kind of forgot about it. But this year will be different. I plan on cranking this baby out because it's a story I've had in mind for a long time and I absolutely love the characters to death.

For my novel, the characters and their stories unfold as they're each faced with a difficult decision and one inescapable question with horrible consequences either way: life or death?

The novel's going to touch on several issues through these two, including fear, control, fate vs free will, and nature vs. nurture... I plan on putting my characters each in their own little room--for one, a hospital waiting room. The other, tied to a chair in pitch darkness. And seeing where it goes from there... it should be interesting, since I've never attempted something quite like this before, always opting for... you know... options with scenery and things of that nature. But it should be really interesting and i'm excited to get started. Just me, the characters, and a whole lot of inner conflict to work out.

I look forward to meeting you guys through the write-ins... some of you I already know, but that's alright. ;D Even if you don't know me.... I know you...

Buh-byeee.... mwhahaaha....

No, no. I kid.

Most of the time.
