So I have done the insane but I need something to shake things up. I joined the national novel writing month project. Next month I will need to do 50000 word novel to win. I figure why not. maybe it will give me the creative jumpstart I need.

Oh well "The Prince of Appalachia" is the working title. Here is a quick opinion qustion. Should a book involving a post apocolyptic world actually dwell on how it happened or should it just be left a background mystery?

If you leave it a mystery, make it a mystery to the main character as well. Hell, make it several generations back and you can have mythology already there around the "end of the world", which means that you don't have to explain it in detail but just give enough hints through the mythology to explain the highlights.
