I'm really getting nervous and antsy.
It's getting very close to November.
Close enough to be getting emails and things from
NaNoWriMo. Close enough to have reactivated my account there (which I just did).
Close enough that I REALLY should have some research done and be twitching more to actually start, instead of twitching to start so I can find out what my problems are going to be so I can work them out now before crunch-time. ACK.
...in light of all this, I'll be starting up a new blog for the new novel. Really, I could just put it on one of the previous ones, but, I'm still holding out a bizarre sort of hope that I'll go back and finish one of those one of these days. ^^; Actually, I've been thinking an awful lot about Mortal Angel lately.. I'm not so sure the two storylines belong together at all, or that they would ever work together so well as I'd initally thought, but, I'm still really damn attached to the characters. Which is my main problem with this year's idea - I'm not at ALL attached to my main character yet, because I don't know a thing about her. I can't nail anything down, besides that she's probably in high school and has some sort of ISSUE! that will be helped by what she learns from the life of a girl who lived in the same house about a hundred years before. (are we seeing themes in Melissa's stories yet? goodlord I'm hung up.) I have some vague ideas, but none that really grab me just yet. One that's decent but doesn't feel like something I could do as much with, one that's been done a million times before, and one that's pretty cliche. I realise that anything I go with, I'll twist into something unusual, just because my point of view is pretty off compared to the general public, but, still.
Anyway, once I start a blog for it, I'll put up my story ideas so far (I brainstorm on my lunch breaks a lot), link it on here, and beg for feedback. ^^;;;
I'm also going to keep poking everyone to do NaNoWriMo this year in general anyway - I need encouragment/nagging/sympathy/people I can bitch to about the mess I'm going to get myself into. heh.
