I've discovered a correlation between movies that come out in the month of October and what I decide to write for my NaNoWriMo project.
Mama was scheduled to come out out last October, and that year for NaNo I wrote Enculturation, which followed Janie Brooks, a rehabilitated feral child and her little pack.
We Are What We Are came out this past month, and I quickly became wildly obsessed (just ask my exasperated roommates).
So of course I had to incorporate cannibalism in my NaNo, and since I'm in an Evolution of Warfare class this semester with all the NROTC kids, I just sort of tossed cannibals and marines into the blender and added a dash of post-apocalypse-but-all-the-adults-are-dead and ran with it. It has the potential to become a hot mess, but right now we're going steady.
In other news, I ran another pass of the cover art and manuscript past the Dog Ear Publishing and even though Dog Ear stopped sending me confirmation emails, they are probably working on it and will suddenly surprise me with the revisions soon.
