Adventures in Wrimonia

Already read this? Read the sequel, Legends of Wrimonia!

Mia Wonnor dreams of being a writer but hasn’t written since earning a degree in English. Crappy first drafts are out of the question for her. One day late in October she discovers Wrimonia, a land where plot bunnies run wild, sporks are in great supply, urinal cakes are more mysterious than ever, and characters and muses are no longer figments of anyone’s imagination. While everyone in Wrimonia enjoys writing, they concentrate on quantity instead of quality, much to Mia’s dismay, in an event called National Novel Writing Month. In an attempt to finally finish a story, Mia joins them in this crazy endeavor and discovers that maybe some things weren’t meant to be perfect or normal after all.

Additional notes: This novel is mostly unedited. The only significant editing I did was for spell check and fixing of gaping plot holes, but what you see is more or less a first draft.

Every now and then I break off in the middle of a scene. I try to note this in the beginning when this is the case, but I do this mostly to keep the word counts consistent, even when my scenes are not. Most of them are between a thousand and two thousand words, with a few a bit shorter or a bit longer.

Feel free to link this on your blog, Twitter, whatever. Just don’t pass this off as your own, and we’re cool.

I highly encourage you to donate to the Office of Letters and Light, the nonprofit organization that runs NaNoWriMo, if you enjoy this tale of noveling madness. If you donate in the new year, your donor goodies will appear in the month before the event you donate to (NaNoWriMo or Script Frenzy).

If for some strange reason you’re really into giving money to Internet strangers who write somewhat humorous things, I won’t complain. You can do that at the link below.
