/lit/ - Literature

I can't believe it but it's almost time once again for NaNoWriMo.

Do you think you can write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days with your fellow spergs? Or will you just lurk the late night Discord chat like that awkward kid always outside the conversation circle?

Get your ideas ready. Start planning the logistics of working with your schedule. Commence complaining about how you have nothing to write about.

NaNoWriMo is coming and I think everyone here should try it.

I have a few ideas and looking for suggestions to what I should persue. (I have done it three times and actually won once)

1. The Machine
Interlacing Highschool drama stories that come to a head at a school shooting. A genius autist student secretly built a time machine under the school that can turn time back to just before the shooting and a certain group of students can perceive the shift (all of them in their backstory having near death experiances that caused their pineal gland to flood their brains giving them this enhanced perception to know a time shift occured) and the second half of the book is them figuring out the best way to use this device

2. The Princess and the Bastard
A grimdark low fantasy tale of a King with loads of bastard sons who proclaims that all his bastards are now legitimate and one has to prove himself worth of being his heir. The kings only legitimate child, a daughter, finds one who is a stalwart and good man, and helps him make his case to be king so she can turn him into a puppet dictator and secretly take all the power for herself.

3. The Distant
A Sci-Fi epic. Humanity dominates the galaxy and their most powerful warship, the Distant, is tasked with checking in on all the planets Humanity controls (All singular colonies of every political ideology on earth given their own planet to live how they want) First act is star treck but super fucked up. Nazi Planet, Feminist Planet, Muslim planet, ect, Every other alien race unites to overthrow humanity (Led by a jewish, homosexual, human who belives that alien culture is superior to humanities and wants to see them over thrown) MC, the captain, unites all of humanity, damn their conflicting ideologies, to fight in an epic battle against every other race in the glaxy to save earth, our homeworld.

I don't think I'm ready to write the Distant yet, I don't think I will be until I'm already an established Author with 20 books under my belt to really have the ability to get my point across and have enough money to not care about the blowback it would cause

Less than a month to go, is /lit/ ready?
