Hello everyone,
I recently finished NaNoWriMo and I want to share my results with folks! It is currently at the halfway point in terms of being finished, sitting at 250 pages and 50k words.
A bit about the book:
Title: One Hundred Days of Mist
Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy
Synopsis: Dan Hathaway has always lived a troubled life. Starting with the death of his grandfather, Edgar, Dan has had his share of painful and traumatic experiences. In his adolescence, he began exhibiting symptoms of depression. When he receives his diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, his world is flipped upside down. In his slumber, Dan's dreams are turned into the world of Nightmare. Nightmare is populated by the mysterious "Abstracts" and ruled by an insidious being known only as "the Man in Gray".
Dan's adolescence is a steady stream of social stumblings, failed romantic relationships, and interpersonal conflicts. He constantly feels alone in a world that does not understand him. The one anchor that keeps him going is his love for the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons, which heavily influences the world of Nightmare.
After his first attempts at being a Dungeonmaster fails and Dan is forced to withdraw from college, he must re-evaluate the path to his future career. He successfully finds new friends and begins the dating process anew. Can he turn his life around and recover from depression or will he fall into the hands of the Man in Gray and be lost in Nightmare forever?
Content: The book deals with dark subject matters, including depression and suicide. It also deals with the subject of sex, though it's not erotica so it's not meant to titillate.
What I am looking for:
I am going to be going and polishing the draft once it is complete. I am fully aware that there are basic editing things that I can do. However, what I am looking is not proofreading but things related more to the plot, characterization, and theme. Since this forum is likely the closest to my target audience, I am also particularly interested in how relatable the protagonist is.
Ok, enough of me talking. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r37m7m0ry5x6u ... d.pdf?dl=0
That is all, thank you!
