NaNo Crunch
So I've been spending a lot of time lately preparing for NaNoWriMo. Not for myself, per se, but more to motivate everyone to participate in this fun, challenging and satisfying event. I created the "NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon" Open in new Window. to raise funds for some great WDC groups, and I've been doing weekly installments of writing lessons in my newsletters for the "Unofficial Erotica Newsletter Group" Open in new Window.. Of course, today I realized that the only problem with all this is that I'm not preparing my own novel; I still have no idea what I want to write about!

I know I'm going to try tackling a crime/mystery novel this year, maybe with a horror slant. I tried an erotica novel last year and feel like doing something a little different this year. But with no idea about the story or the character, I've got a lot of work to do before November 1st, especially if I'm going to make good on my promise of actually preparing something and not writing cold like I did last year. So I think it's time that I follow my own advice and take part in the NaNo exercises I publish for the UEN. Sure I may not be able to win the prize every week... but I should be able to follow my own advice and adequately prepare, right? *Smile*

Anyone else finding themselves up against the wall as far as their NaNo prep is concerned?
