Thinking about particpiating in NANO this year. Not seriously enough yet to actually sit down and try to come up with a story. I have a start from last year’s attempt, about three pages or so, but I don’t really have a story. I have a character, but nothing more.
The humorous Vampire spoof story. Comedy might be kind of fun at this point. Everything I write about is so angsty and serious. As much as I love my characters from my story universe I don’t know what to write about or whose story to tell. I could jump ahead in my universe. I could go back in the past.
There is the unfleshed out Sephardic story and I’ve got a wealth of information I can use in the story, but there again, I’m not quite sure what I’ve got. It might be an interesting story to write because I’ve been caught up in my heavily Catholic story at the moment. I also think that the main character discovering her family’s Sephardic roots in her family of marginal Catholics might be actually really interesting to write about.
But… I’m not sure.
I have another idea, but I think it’s a bit too personal right now to write about.
Just grab one and run with it. The comedy might be fun to write. After all, with NaNoWriMo, the word count is the only thing that really matters. Even if 90% of it ends up being drivel from being rattled out so quickly, a gem or two will be found. Those can be built on. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway…;-)
Hee. My first comment. 😉
You’re right. I really think doing something comedic might be fun and definitely take my mind off serious and angst ridden fic for a bit.
I really hope to get 90% drivel because it will be 90% more than I had and something to work with.
