NaNoWriMo

It's that time of year again, the time to hurry up and come up with an idea so I can procrastinate writing it so that I fail at the end of November yet again to win the NaNoWriMo challenge. Yeah, that's the spirit. I really do want to make a serious attempt this year. Last year was half-hearted and I think I stopped about a week into the month. This year I really want to do it, an, while I have several half-baked ideas, I really don't know what I will write. There's the story I started while I was in Okinawa and did quite a bit of character development on and actually wrote the first 10,000 words of before I realized I needed to rewrite it from a different character's perspective. My worry about using that one is that even though I will be starting the story from the beginning, I'm not sure it will be okay with the rules since I've started the story before. I hope to go to one of the events before November 1st in order to ask some of the others who have done this before if it's okay or I could always just email NaNoWriMo and ask them. Oh, and in case you plan on doing it too and want to be my buddy or if you just want to follow my eventually demise into a dark procrastination and flurry of nothingness, then look up my username on the NaNoWriMo site, caribot, which is the same as my Twitter account.

In effort to come up with a new idea to write about, I told my brain to start working on coming up with a new idea, so last night when I slept I had sooooo many dreams. Unfortunately, while a bit of the dreams were cute, they did not make any sense whatsoever, nor could I pull the semblance of a basic story from the mishmash. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow night.
