Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am participating in NanoWrimo! In case you're wondering, it stands for: National Novel Writing Month. I need to write a 50,000 word novel and I have 30 days to do it.
I will be busy all through November working on my novel.
My story is titled, 'Manny the Guard'. Here is a quick synopsis of my novel...
Manny's a guard for Carlos Manafred who is into everything
illegal. Manny ends up with the least likely
of jobs; babysitting the drug lords girlfriend, Destina. She is the
kindest person Manny has ever known, and the violence she endures at the
hands of Carlos weighs heavily on his mind.
It's during this time
that Manny reflects back on his troubled life. Starting with his
abusive mother, the tragic death of his younger brother and the years
spent living in foster homes and youth authorities. He dwells on his
past and the crimes that led him to where he is today.
At the age
of forty eight, he's tired of being a mobster. His days are numbered
living this lifestyle and he wants out. Being around Destina has shown
him that good people really do exist. He decides to take a risk and begin doing what is right. Starting with helping Destina escape and then
shutting down Carlos and all his drug operations, but doing so could
cost him his life.
Thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think of the synopsis. =)
