A Series of Novellas

My co-author, Alicia, and I are parting ways this November regarding our writing. Well, sort of. You see, Alicia and I had a lot of fun writing a novel together this June, and we've decided to do something similar for November NaNoWriMo. However, instead of taking turns working on the same novel, we're going to write a series of novellas. You see, Alicia and I don't just write for NaNoWriMo. We also spend our free time writing on a site known as The Black Hole, created by us.

A quick explanation is as such: I have one character, and Alicia has another. Through a series of crazy plot twists and bizarre ideas that we take turns coming up with, we each write a paragraph or more from only our character. Alicia is responsible for writing a response to what my character says; I cannot write her character's response. In this way, we often don't know what's going to happen, and it makes everything unexpected. This isn't how we wrote our novel, and it's not how we're planning to write our novellas.

No. You see, over time, Alicia and I have accumulated several dozen characters doing stories in this fashion, and sometimes we will recycle the same characters and stories using different plot twists, reactions, etc. For November's 2012 NaNoWriMo, we are planning to each take a story that is part of a larger story we like to call "The House."

I will be working on the story of two misfits--Kelsey and Mac. You can read more about their story here. Using what Alicia and I have already written as a guide, I will be adjusting the plot and characters as I see fit. Some pieces of the original story will be removed, like Dr. Xavier's school for mutants since we don't own that. Other things will remain. Alicia, however, will be working on the story of two other misfits--Aiden and Alex. You can read more about them here. Like me, Alicia will be using the original story as only a guide.

Eventually, we hope to do this with several other characters' stories on the same website, and they will all eventually connect into a longer novella called "The House." For more details regarding the House, please visit this website.
