Though NaNo is almost over and i have nothing for it, i've reached a compromise. My Novelist side and my Poet side have agreed to let me collaborate with the ever-brilliant and entertaining

October:
October is almost how one would remember it: Megan, Danny, and Lucifer and their stories. There's a new important character, Eva, who is an interesting little person. She's a year younger than Danny and Megan and has the ability to see and talk to the "colored people." She enjoys the company of dead people, who she sees as colored, over living ones, except for Danny. Also another main character, Megan's dead cousin Abby Rabanas, or the Perfection Theif--also known as the Invisible Girl.

Gifted:
This is Cari's version of October from Eva's perspective. Eva is a loner who is often seen muttering to herself and regarded as psychotic. In reality, she's helping the "colored people" find their way to where they need to go. 98% of her friends are dead--the other 2% is Danny and her mother. She finds out a whole bunch of theories regarding "colorblindness"--or being able to see the "colored people" as only gray and without faces but only eyes, which is as the "colored people" see each other. Eva is one of the "Gifted," or those who can see the nature of the "colored people" as they should be seen.

Forever/Perfection:
Abby Rabanas was 15 years old when she died in a museum bombing. She wondered for the longest time: why me? After her death, she was brought forward 400 years. A strange 17-year-old named Bill was shackling her to a chain which was attached to an enormous grandfather clock. This clock ticked backwards and froze when someone in the world died. This strange clock was powered by the Perfection of those who make it stop. Her job is to clean the sins from this Perfection and feed the clean "soul" of the person into the clock just before they die. She is granted the ability to be unseen by all besides the Gifted and Colorblind and can stop time at will when removing the Perfection of the dying. For the longest time, she couldn't find an escape until she meets Danny and Eva. Unknowingly, she sets the twisted system after her beloved cousin, Megan, the Followed.

Ahhh.... gotta love that quote from my Nano--Preview's "The Boy..."

Anyway... I have some important emotions to display along with some helpful (maybe) information. I am unable to complete NaNoWriMo at this point because of my schedule and laziness in the past week or so.

Second, I've figured out that October is impossible. If you want to, i give you all permission to use my idea and see if you can do anything with it (as long as i get partial credit). The way the storyline is (or maybe just my own stubbornness) makes it difficult for me to move forward from a prologue.

Third, after our football team gets killed in playoffs friday, there is no more marching band. That means that my schedule is going to be rather close to empty until Mr. G. starts really cracking down on concert band (that's gonna be oodles of fun...).

And finally (which will probably be your favorite), i have run out of things to say.

Until who knows when...
