NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) starts in 8 days. This is my fourth year doing NaNo, I started in 2008 and have successfully completed 50k+ words every year so far. First year, I had the entire plot outlined in a notebook and full character biographies created. Then last year I had very little outlining done but I had a plan! I knew the settings, the characters, the overall timeline of events and came out on top with a fully completed novel. This year... well.. I've got zilch.
I just pulled out my story file to see if there are any partially formed or previously abandoned ideas that I could try this year. I have just shy of a dozen ideas scribbled down, however, none of them are fully formed ideas! There is a few scifi/fantasy ideas, adventure, mystery, drama, certainly not a lack of diversity.
Going to brainstorm and hopefully start outlining this week. I will probably be putting up some polls here to help make some decisions as well.
8 days.. I have 8 days.. hope you'll join me on this NaNo journey. If you are a fellow Wrimo, add me as a writing buddy: SCUBAJfer
