If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Mine will be a mystery thriller, set in South East Asia's near future (similar kind of future to that in The City/LMNO-PI).

Cain suggested something similar on IRC: 50k words stream - of - consciousness.

This clicked my brain into a non - linear exploration of causality and POV, so I have a subject.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I'm just hoping that it will save me from the "I don't know where to go from here" trap.

I plan to employ the Law of Fives to a great degree when I hit 40,000 , and try to tie it all together.

All y'all are being added.

My plot involves a cabal (yes, I'm actually using names from the "Name my protagonist" thread :lol:), a bunch of shenanigans, some sort of evil super power that they are trying to defeat, a futuristic here (and neighboring planets), some neat gadgets, and, who knows. I'm kind of going to go from there. I haven't hammered out my plot entirely yet, except I hope to have dark humor, witty banter, and, uh, I dunno what else. Neat gadgets, again. Yeah.

I'm relying on that trap.  The fear will spur me on to write regardless.  I can always edit it to make sense in December.

I've probably got about 2-3 chapters already sorted out in my head, but I refuse to think it through any further.  Instead, I'm concentrating on fleshing out my characters.  My main one, a smuggler/pilot is pretty much finished, but I need to add some more.  Quite a few more.

My new plot idea involves a few regulars + an employee or two at some weird little coffee shop. Needs more excitement! I tend to get through NaNo by having very little plot and a lot of weird characters who become overdeveloped in 50k words. That's fine and all, but I think this year I should actually try to get a story out of it.

I'm thinking up an exploration of different world view / character archetypes.  Same day happens over and over for the main character, compeltely disconnected, just with a different idea for each day, and different plot points exploited as appropriate.  Kind of Groundhog Day, just with a different pathos every day.  Writing the corpse's day should be interesting.

Note: I will not read any of these novels unless I am in them. Not even my own.  :x

Either I put way too much thought into this and go with my first idea, or I can just numbly blurt out excerpts from my life at conventions, in costume, and my college exploits (ie, almost throwing my roommate off of our apartment balcony.)

It's been done before, eh?

That doesn't matter, just as long as you're aware of it.  Hell, you referenced "Grounhog Day".


I like it.  I was gonna try to do a completely ordinary day, but from the angle of BIP; but the structuring would be too precise to do 50k in 30 days.

I think the purpose of this IS to blurt out nonsense because it's an exercise in wracking your brain.
