One chick, 25 days, one novel.
So I've decided that even though i'm far too busy (and fond of television) to pull it off, I'm going to write a novel in a month
Nothing ventured nothing gained. I don't want to cheat and work on the manuscript I started 2 years ago and have yet to finish.
But the slate is otherwise blank. I appeal to you, gentle readers, to give me:
a title
a plot
a plot twist
character names
a location
the murder weapon
etc.....
please put any suggestions, the more outrageous and off the tops of your heads, the better, in the comments.
one, all some, none...I'll take what i have, select what i like, and, by midnight tonight (Pacific), make a go at it.
The event officially began Nov 1, so as usual, I'm already late......

TITLE: Hash Me, my Love
PLOT: Two young hippies travel to their first Burning Man festival

LOCATION: The desert wasteland of Nevada
MURDER WEAPONS: Potato mashers, twirling flames on chains, burning statues, bongs, blunts, quick hits, dirt, many other possibilities
ETC: I have no idea how to wrap it up. Maybe it's about the perversion of innocent indulgence (A living Burning Man statue can proselitize at the end), maybe it's about the hatred that the repressed have towards those with sensual freedom. Whatever. I don't know. The extent of my grand scheme is that I think it would be cool to have crazed hippies offing each other with drug paraphenalia.
