Yeah, I know, I procrastinated this post just like you procrastinated your homework over the weekend (thank goodness we have Veterans’ Day off, am I right?).
Last Monday night, Spectrum members completed an activity in honor of the famous/infamous NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). They all either created a summary, blurbs, and/or cover art for their hypothetical upcoming novel. Here are some amusing samples for your perusing:
Xena Goldstein and the Slumber Party in Space!
When 15 year-old Xena Goldstein first gets her invite to Cindy Appleberry’s slumber party, she thinks “this is it!” She’s finally made some friends and might even become popular! But when the space station takes an unexpected hit from a stray asteroid, this 2080’s pajama party takes a turn for the worse! Can Xena save her new friends before the life systems fail, or will her popularity get flushed out the airlock just like her new super cute pajama top?
