I have now gotten the main concept for the story developed.

A librarian, who holds an ancient artifact that can bring world peace, is thrust into a battle between 2 rival people groups, one who is seeking peace, the other seeking discord. Her struggle to survive challenges her to overcome her greatest fear and become the woman she has always believed she was.

Next up, get a 30 day outline put together.

Till next time.

Today was a trip to my hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Visited my mother and watched a bit of Ohio State football.

The drive gave me some time to think about our librarian and her secret. I think I shall enjoy discovering her story.

This coming week I will plan to get a rough outline put together.

I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.

16 Days until the mad dash to 50,000 words. The story is beginning to emerge from the recesses of my mind, though it is still just a foggy mist of faint shadows moving randomly in and out of view.

Till tomorrow.

Ok, the title I have finally settled on is “The Librarian’s Secret.”

Stay tuned as I reveal a few clues while we continue to define the story.

The story you are about to behold the creation of, will be about a librarian. So let’s get started with a few facts and get the ball rolling. Not sure what to do? Go to How Do I join In?

I will make some descriptions like, “The librarian is a (man/woman).” about our protagonist and you cut and paste the description in a comment with just your preference, like “The librarian is a woman.” If you have a preference I did provide, well, let’s hear it instead. So, let me pull out my magic mysterioso name generator, ahem, a phone book, and well, here we go!!

We need a name and a few details about our protagonist.

The year is (2009/1975/1940) and (Angela/Kathryn/Christy) (Marshall/Temple/Roberts), our librarian, is somewhere near the age of (29+/47/52) years old.

Her (short/shoulder length/long) (blonde/brown/red) hair is (straight/curly/wavy). She is (5-3/5-11/6-2) in height and with a (sleight/medium/heavy) build. Her (brown/blue/hazel) eyes have (20-20/100-100/300-300) vision.

She is a (rural/small town/city) girl who loves (architecture/technology/sociology). She is a single mother with (no/1/2) children who (was never married/is divorced/is widowed). She now lives in a (loft/apartment/small house) and works at the famous world renown library of antiquities, the Antiquities Library of (Paris/Cairo/New York).

Well, now, that’s a good start for today. I look forward to reading your comments.

See you Friday.

It’s official, I have decided on a title for my story.

It shall thus be christened “The Librarian” … or something like that.

Tomorrow begins the process of defining the path for which I shall leave a my trail of word crumbs.

In the words of Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Hello everyone.

John Pearson here. I have succombed to my inner psycho that demands I write like the wind to string together letters from the alphabet until they comprise 50,000 words. And all in 30 days or less.

The trek begins November 1, 2009.

This is all part of a writing adventure known as NaNoWrimo, To learn more about it go to www.nanowrimo.org
