So, today my husband asked me what I’m writing for NaNo this year. I stared at my phone blankly for a few moments and texted back that I have absolutely no idea. I have options – lots of options – and I have 15 days to decide. That’s plenty of time, right?
I could use outlines from previous options that I have yet to write – this would be easy, as most of my work is already done for me, and, well, I’m freaking busy with writing something like 200,000 words each month for my job.
I could go off on a totally different direction and try another genre I’ve never written before. I do have some ideas for fantasy novels and some historical fiction in realms I’ve never before attempted.
I could do a major overhaul of a previous project that needs to be gutted and re-created. The rough draft was written nearly twenty years ago and really needs to be rewritten.
There are so many options – going through my files will be like a treasure hunt when I get back from this trip.
