2 More Days Until Nanowrimo!

Only two more days until nanowrimo!  I'm excited to start writing.  The ideas in my head are beginning to play out as to how I want the story to unfold.

I can't start writing yet, but I thought I'd share more of the synopsis:

Have you ever had just a really bad day?  Who hasn't?  How about a week?  Maybe a year?  Everything just seems to be going wrong.  Then you get that one event that just pushes every thing over the edge?  Kinda makes you wish those Calgon commercials were indeed real enough to make everything go away with just a quick bubble bath!  But alas, it's only a dream.

What if you just simply ran away?  Can't really do that because...well, where would you go?  You can only run so far before you have to stop - and that's when everything catches up and slams into you.

What if you just go all Armageddon on everyone around you until you're the sole survivor in your own little world.  Nah.  I can't "love" myself as much as I can with someone else.

What if you could just forget it all?  Act like it never happened.  Just - Ctrl+x that part out of your life.  Now there's an idea.  You could just - forget it all.  But maybe that wouldn't work either.  I mean, you can't just "forget" stuff for no reason.  You need an excuse.  Schizophrenia?  Too Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde like.  Go completely crazy?  Too Vincent Price like.  *bing* Amnesia!  Fake your own amnesia and just forget however far back you'd want to!  Everyone would have sympathy for you.  You'd get to forget about any and every thing bad that has happened to you.  Sounds nice.

Ah, but there's always a catch.  Unfortunately, forgetting the bad means you must also forget the good.  Are you willing to pay that price?

Don't miss my nanowrimo month when I take that very scenario and question and turn it into a comedy novella!
