Finally! A title, some characters, and a synopsis!

YES!!!


I got a title, my characters, and a brief synopsis FINALLY sorted out! :D


AND my NaNoWriMo forum sig banner!


The title is.... Only Human


Here is my NaNoWriMo Forum sig;



And my brief synopsis!


"Jake is a young man with a lot of problems, and even more anger at the world. Raised on a diet of abuse and neglect at the hands of his father, his view of the human race becomes twisted beyond repair. He longs to eliminate what he perceives to be the fundamental differences between genders; men abuse power, and women are weak, and he’s angry at both for being this way. When his mother moves him away after realising the detrimental effects his father is having on him, he refuses to make a new start. However, when his mother leaves him behind to go back to his father, he realises that his theories of men and women were right all along. Plagued by the heartbreak of his cheating ex-girlfriend and the nightmares of hearing his religious mother praying to God as his father took his drunken rage out on her, he embarks on a task he believes only he is capable of doing; completely rearranging the human race, and punishing them for their sins. Combining psychological torture with physical pain, completely lacking any emotion or compassion, Jake sets out to make each human being equal. Where many have failed before him, Jake fully intends to succeed, through any means necessary, regardless of the outcome."


I feel I can finally start getting somewhat excited about my novel. :D

Any thoughts/opinions...?

I like it! It makes me want to read it right now haha. I probably should write a synopsis for my own NaNoWriMo book. At least I know what it'll be called. That's a start. :) lol

Sweet! I'm hooked. I want to read it! Now. Do I have to wait?

It's a nice hook!

Good job!

You're inspiring me to get mine done as well!

Are you going to keep adding bits and pieces of your writing here on your blog? I want to read more. Seriously.

Hi Melissa and Stacy, thanks so much for the encouragement! That's awesome, I'm so glad someone likes it! I'm quite proud of it, it took my long enough to come up with! Haha :)

I'm not sure if I'll be adding bits and pieces on the blog as I write. I hadn't really thought about it to be honest! I'll consider it now though :)

Thanks again for your kind comments! <3

Jake is a great name!! And I am liking the synopsis. I am looking forward to reading your story and I think it's going to something really harsh and cold. It'll be a great read, in my opinion.

Oooh that synopsis is excellent; I really want to read more! "the nightmares of hearing his religious mother praying to God as his father took his drunken rage out on her" *chills down my spine*. I'm very intrigued!

P.S - how did you get that cute wee forum sig? I want one :')

Hi Eryn :) It took me literally like days and days to choose Jake. It sounds like such a simple task but I didn't want to choose a name that was typical "evil" like... Damien or Drake or something like that. "Jake" doesn't sound cliche or typically evil or whatever but it's got a harsh tone to it. Seriously too much thought process that goes into choosing names!

Hi Catherine! Thanks for the encouraging words :) The banner, I made it on http://www.bannersnack.com It was really simple! And I'm really happy with the outcome :)

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! <3
