Day One- NaNo '08
So um, yeah, I TOTALLY changed my plot two days before NaNo started. I just wasn't feeling my first plot no matter how much I liked the banner/book cover that I made for it.
Yet, as soon as I started telling my uncle about one of my favorite short movies I suddenly was hit with the inspiration brick. The movie stars a very young Christina Ricci as Little Red Riding Hood, a dancer is the wolf and it's entirely filmed in black and white with only narration, no dialogue.
I wrote a short story in junior year of high school twisting the tale a bit and I just HAD to expand it. Character profiles and an outline fell out of my mind onto my computer screen Halloween morning and afternoon.
I've since reached 4K words and I plan (and am forcing myself) to reach 16K words TODAY. Since I'm going to be gone the first week of NaNo and don't have a laptop, I want to get it out of the way so I don't have to hand write it all.
Title: Little Red
Genre: Fantasy/Horror
Synopsis: Little Red was a good little girl, Little Red served her grandmother and was repaid by having her grandmother be served to her as dinner. When the axeman who saved her is blamed for crimes he didn't commit, Little Red's innocence falls away.
Her naivete is replaced with insanity as she enters a twisted contract with the very creature that changed her life.
For better or for worse.
