Daily Intro Post - November 10th - 30th

[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

So, in light that we have been put into the LJ Spotlight for this week, I decided to post one more Daily Intro Post so that all our wonderful new members can have a place to introduce themselves!

So welcome to the community! Reply here and introduce yourself to everyone else. And I hope you have a great time.


also - if this is your first time here, take a moment to look at the following:

2008 Community Rules - read them if you haven't, and please don't post until you have. It makes us all happy, and keeps the ninja squirrels from attacking needlessly.

2008 NaNo LJ'er Regional Friending Thread!

2008 Pimp and Post Thread - talk about your projects here!

Weekly Plot Help Threads - help your fellow community members with their plots!

Daily Word Count Posts - This is where you post your word counts (except your 50K accomplishment, which you get to shout to the world in it's own post for 5 minutes of fame and glory!)

Daily Excerpts - This is where you post snippets from your NaNo to share with everyone. But keep it within the limits!


all these links are available on the profile page as well as the sidebar links in the community in case you ever need to find them.


EDIT: Talking to support now about recovering the Pimp Thread and the Regional Friends thread. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey NaNoites!

I'm 24 and this is my first NaNo, although I actually completed a novel 2 years ago but have been gravely unsatisfied with the outcome. In the past few years I've done more playwriting and have had one play produced so far...ah such is the life of a playwright.

I seem to write a lot about the Holocaust and I've really had this idea in my head for a long time. It is the story of a 10-year-old girl who was taken to Auschwitz with her twin and survived by being experimented on, however the story of my novel is about her coping with life thereafter. Since the death of her twin, she stopped speaking and the story is told through the point of view of her teenage cousin in the US who lives with her and the aunt. There are also some pre-camp diary entries from her sprinkled throughout. As I get farther along, more things develop and more stuff about the aunt and her daughter develop. There is a family secret involved as well that I had all along, but the secret itself has become an entity that has really shaped a lot of the character's relationships.

It'll be interesting.

Feel free to NaNo friend me!
