NaNoWriMo jitters

[miriam_e]

NaNoWriMo begins in 2 weeks. For the last several months I've been assembling notes for the story I wanted to write this year. But I'm having serious second thoughts. Quite by accident I came up with another, completely different idea some months ago and it has been running around in my head a lot lately. Tonight I suddenly realised that it could be merged with another, much older story idea to make a pretty good tale... if handled well.

I start thinking this with only 2 weeks to go???? Am I nuts?!

But it is a rather neat idea...

That sounds great! I hope to draw some comics next year. And I will do ScriptFrenzy in 2009. Scripts are a quite different artform from novel- or shortstory-writing.

I started getting great floods of ideas today, like making a non-profit site that hosts stories for writers, and which enables donations to be made to authors whose stories people like. I have recently been thinking about the problems faced by writers nowadays. Something like this would eliminate the middlemen. A donation would go directly to the author. The website would not take a cut. If someone wanted to donate to the website separately then that would be okay too, but not required.

I've also been thinking a lot about the practicalities of indexing stuff and have come up with some innovative ideas for that.

Exciting!

I've never done a script, well, not in years and years and years, but I think it would be fun. I'm sure I'd figure out my own way to do it.

Your ideas sound great! I'm afraid of the publishing process anyway. But it doesn't matter since I don't have any plans of publishing. So everything works out!

Yes, very exciting!
