I've been wanting to NaNo for the past three years but something always came up. I finally decided I need to try. If I make it, great, if not - oh well, I'll be farther along than if I hadn't tried.
So...
My novel is the second of a trilogy. I finished the first about 2 years ago. Went through a couple edits then life exploded (that happens with four young children) and I haven't gotten back to it.
In bk 1 a secluded mountain village meets the 21st century.
In bk 2, an anthropologist travels to the village to observe (but has orders not to interfere) as the leaders decide what part they want of the "Lowlanders" and how the transformation will take place. A medical emergency places the anthro in a position of choosing between saving a life and saving her study.
And that's as far as we go. I'll probably bounce back and forth btwn the little boy who is suddenly thrust into the world of technology via the hospital, and the village. I don't do well with outlines. I know if I'd had to do one for the first book it wouldn't have made it past the third chapter.
I look forward to meeting all of you.
