I'm April. :) I'm not really sure how to class my NaNo for this year... it was going to be autobiographical fiction, but by chapter 2 it was already veering away from that. So yes. I'm not really sure just where on the spectrum it fits, so for now it's mainstream fiction. As always, I'm a little squiffy about posting the topic of my NaNo novel before I actually achieve the goal of 50k, because I'm not sure how much it'll change before it's finished. ;) But for now... it's about a girl with an eating disorder who is currently coping with her much-loved grandmother being in a coma thanks to a drunk driver. There will also be some focus on the tensions between her parents as they cope with everything that is going on in their lives. Or at least, that's my plan. I don't want it to seem to YA-ish because that wasn't my goal in writing it, but we'll see. It may end up being in the YA category. :) Nothing wrong with that, just not where I intended it to go.
And yes, plot ninjas have already started jumping in and taking over the story. Her grandmother wasn't even originally a character in the story, and now she's a pretty major one. :)
