National Novel Writing Month. Jen got us involved. She's doing it, OT's doing it and I think Bear and maybe rwrf(?). Don't know if any others have signed on yet.
Challenge - write a 50,000 word novel in one month.
Okay, here's my synopsis:
Setting: Washington, DC.
Main Character: Blake Johnson/John Blakemore
Summary: Blake Johnson works for a conservative think tank in Washington, DC. His alter ego John Blakemore works for a liberal think tank. Unknown to co-workers and friends of "both," they are the same person. He travels back and forth between the personalities through a time portal.
Things go fine for years and "both" are highly successful. But a crisis occurs when an issue goes national and both Blake and John are invited to appear on Larry King Live.
Panicking, and not knowing what else to do, he "creates" the murder/disappearance of one of his personalities.
And it logically follows that he's arrested for the murder...

So, what do you think?
Lots of potential for conflict there!
