NaNoWriMo

In honor of NaNoWriMo, I have started a new sci-fi novel called Violeteye (no relation to Breaking Violet). I highly doubt that I will have the rough draft finished by the end of the month, as I can't bring myself to stop working on my other writings, but I'm very excited about it. The main concept is of a city of thousand-story towers (called The City) where there is a strictly enforced class system based on eye color. The Browneyes live on the Low Levels of the towers, beneath the perpetual ash could, the Greeneyes live on the Middle Levels and the Violeteyes live on the High Levels. In order to reach the High Levels, one must pay a lot of money to have the necessary "iris enhancement surgery," but few ever do. November Locke is a sixteen-year-old Violeteye who must start making her own way, but on only her fourth excursion outside of her parents' mansion, she discovers some very unsavory secrets about The City and what really happens beneath the ash cloud. In order to find the truth, she will make a dangerous journey that will take her from the very bottom to the very top of the towers, all the while evading the Redeyes – The City's half-mechanical police force – and the millions of cameras spaced at every interval. But she won't have to do it alone. Her history tutor, Aris goes with her for her protection, and because he wants answers just as much as she does...
