[NaNoReNo 2011] The Scarlet Macaw

#1 Post by usul »

This project was initially going to be a 2010 NaNoReNo game, but as soon as I anounced it, I was contracted to work for one whole year. It seemed appropriate to me to resume where I had left off last year now that the contract is over.

The Case of the Scarlet Macaw (as it was originaly titled) is a mystery thriller set in the 1940's film noir style and centers around a private detective called Dick Richards. He's down on his luck and faced with hard choices. He will cross paths with interesting and sometimes bizarre characters during the three two days that are sure to be the most pivotal of his career. Oh and it all revolves around one innocent looking parrot.

I'm currently at over 3000 words into the script writing process.

Good luck to everyone participating.

Update: I'm currently at over 5500 words and Day 1 is pretty much complete. I'm hoping to finish working on Day 2 tonight and perhaps start working on backgrounds tomorrow.

I currently have 11 characters if you count the parrot.

Yeah in a sense. And you could also say he's a ...

The story's theme is repetition, which is why is revolves around a parrot!
