NaNoWriMo Descends Upon Us!
Great Lit News: NaNoWriMo is fast approaching!
Last year, I entered the race with Mirrorbound, my would-have-been first attempt at a full length horror and macabre fiction. It would have been my first novel too. Since I wanted the genre to be my field of expertise, I thought I could do well with the challenge. Unfortunately, I failed to accomplish my ideal quota. And so this year I plan to avenge and redeem myself.
This year, I’m going to go all Japanese Culture on my attempt, specifically all Yakuza. Yes. You’ve read it. I’m going to write something related to the Yakuza. It’s not all horror per se, it’ll be somewhat of a psychological thriller or a suspense if all else fails. As usual, the main protagonist will be female but she’ll be more distinctly flavored: she’ll be Japanese. I’ve always found it fun and easy pushing a vague female character around, not minding her cultural values and what not, but this time, I think it’ll be more than awesome with a vantage point. I’ve found the perfect candidate for the role too so it’ll be less tacky this time around.
