JulNo Time is Upon Me

*neck crack* Ok, I'm getting ready and I am so excited.  I'm hoping to actually make it to the 50k goal and I think I have a good chance of making it due to my story concept.  I've had the idea since NaNoWriMo2010.

My main character is actually participating in JulNoWriMo2011 for the first time.  She's a wannabe writer who sounds a lot like me so we'll (or I'll) be seeing two stories happen at once.  Both her story about her experience and the story she is writing.

The main character's name is Mari (I really like this name and have 3 characters in total with that name).  She around 30 years old and the oldest of 4 children (Mari, brother who's name starts with an R, Nigel and Autumn).  Mari is generally unmotivated about life.  She has an apartment she shares with her best friend who's name is either Valerie or Vivian and never seems to actually sleep at the apartment.  Mari works almost full time in retail and spends the rest of her time bumming around.  Her two brothers are quite successful in what they do and her little sister acts like a ditzy brat.  Mari is generally not very social, not due to not liking people but by not knowing how to act around them, therefore she tends to only stick to those she's close to and is not willing to really make new friends.

Mari's stories about the goings-on at a private school called Glen Acres Academy.  The cast she working with is long and sprawling and will be written about another time, hopefully before JulNo starts on Friday.
