I wrote 682 words of a story last night after midnight. This morning, I woke up, decided it wasn't grabbing me, and wrote 821 words of something new. Now I have decided that this story is actively preventing me from being grabbed and am returning to the 682. This year's NaNo theme: I am completely lost!
Apart from the going back to the original part, this is pretty much me exactly! Sorry, yeti detective, but it looks like I'm doing a space opera this year. I did quasi-noir last year anyway, time to do something different. ^^
Kinda feel silly to have wasted a day and gone to a midnight dash for nada, but I'm pretty pumped about this new story, so: yay, NaNo ahoy!
My novel is probably going to be about a Necromancer just getting out of Necromancer University. Other than that I have no idea what to write about...
I advise... Master's Thesis!
I mean, really, who hires a Necromancer with a BA? Also, the potential thesis topics are fun:
1) The Cross-Cultural and Psychological Impact of Lichdom
2) The Science and Art of Metaphysical Phylacteries
3) Undead Agriculture: Practical Applications of Undead Labor in Subsistence Economies*
