Went to a Kick-off Party yesterday. :)

I just need to get some notes written before the month actually starts...

I'm thinking of writing a gritty space detective novel. Will be somewhat medium-hardness on the scale; includes FTL and alien life, but nothing explicitly supernatural like Force powers or whatever.

Started with nothing last year and let it grow organically. Definitely went in an interesting direction. And from the looks of it, that's what I'm going to end up doing again this year. :)

Well I was kinda planning on including time-travel, but who says that I need to write the novel in order? I'll just wing it and hope that I come up with something good.

As a Midwesterner, I'm suddenly getting an idea for a topical story.  A group of people in the midst of the worst storm ever must struggle to survive in a ruined world, think The Road. 

But, the joke:  The storm isn't that bad.  Everyone's just really overreacting.

Stuff got in the way? :/

I've been doubting attempting this year either. Will have to try though.

Will be joining in in the name of Science/Fantasy/Anime/Blood/Sailor Outfits.

I feel like my novel is strange.

I'm writing for it this year, you can find me as Schizm over on the NaNoWriMo site.

I have a decent plotline and set of characters thought out, but now I'm a bit worried that it's going to become Breaking Bad with necromancy instead of meth.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

I'm going into this with little more than an idea I've been mulling over for the past two years. Should be fun.

I just googled that phrase and found nothing. Congratulations, those three words in that order have never been typed into the googleable internet before! Until now.

Oh man. This is confusing. I had my vague idea mapped out- write a batshit insane adventure story based around a batshit insane dream I had years ago- but yesterday I was sitting in a darkened cinema, munching on lollies as I waited for the movie to start, and suddenly a new idea came to me.
And then it started to expand. At first I thought, "Oh yeah, that's kinda cool, I might use that for next year's NaNo," but then it kept growing. It grew and grew and grew in this tidal wave of awesomeness, and now I'm torn between using my original idea or the new, far darker one. :-\ Eep!

Is it embarrassing that I have an entire trilogy planned out?

if I liked writing, I'd do it.

but I hated English, including the (semi) free-writing coursework.
