It’s That Time of Year Again: NaNoWriMo Count Down!

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.

But what are you going to write this year? How will you decide? I’d love to hear from anybody and everybody! Maybe we can inspire each other.
