So I have finally finished the basic outlines of my two plots for the two novels I am writing for NaNoWriMo and I thought that I would post up the blurbs...
Novel #1 - The Descent (Dystopian)
By the vote of the citizens of the world, each country made a pact to close it's doors to everyone else and only involve itself with another country for trade, with not one nation inteferring with the personal matters of another. The small country of (insert cool name of country here when I come up with one) took it one step further. Riddled with mysterious powers developed by seemingly ordinary citizens, the same powers that saw the destruction of most of the world just years before, the country is threatened to once again fall into distress as crime and terror rise. It was then that the people voted for all citizens to be subjected to evaluation to determine if they were pure or not. From then on, each citizen was evaluamted at the age of 19, 29 and 39. Those who are deemed unpure were submitted to re-education or disposed of depending on the extent of their crimes against society. Anyone who was discovered to posses magic blood would immediatley be excecuted.
Seventeen year old Latvia Rein prides herself in the good life she has lived, and knows that when her time for evaluation comes, she will have nothing to worry about. For the most part, she just gets to enjoy being a normal teenager. School, work and fun times with her friends. However, things change when her best friend reveals to her a secret that changes the way Latvia regards her life. When Adelina reveals the forbidden powers she has, Latvia doesn't hesitate to turn her in, warranting the excecution of her best friend. Determined to move on with her own life, Latvia tries to forget what she has done, but her grief and regret at her desicion plunge her into despair, prompting her own powers to be revealed, endangering her life. In her attempt to block out her powers, Latvia becomes caught up in a plot to rebel against the rules of her country and becomes determined to stop it, while masquerading as a rebel herself for the purpose of learning how to cover up her powers before she can be caught out.

I am really hoping to finish both of these this year, but if I don't, I'm hoping to at least finish one. Basically, I will count this year as a win if I finish one out of the two novels.
