Do you have your story idea yet?

Sep 27, 2012 15:07

Is anyone locked onto the story idea for this year's NaNoWriMo? I've got a few I'm toying with, I've run into the problem of keeping the story going in the past so I know how important it is to have something which won't run out of steam too quickly ( Read more... )

I beg of you, if you're doing anything psychological to PLEASE do your research. I'm not sure if I can stand another depressive leaping over a building in a rage, or another freakin' Sybil. Real-life crazy people can be pretty sensitive about that sort of thing. ;-]

I was idealess for quite a long time, but I figured I would go with a hopefully light-hearted space romp using a setting/characters I created for an RPG. Of course, every time I play with plot ideas, they seem much more dark than I initially intended. LOL

If we're voting on your ideas, I say go with #3. It seems to have the most meat to it.

I'm going to use NaNo to speed up on my collection of stories about parallel worlds to this one. Every story is about 8000 words so I could pretty much finish it off if NaNo works out for me.

Historical fiction, set in Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the reign of Gediminas. When the Papal court was in Avignon France rather than Rome the Grand Duke sent the Pope a letter asking for baptism. Lithuania was the last pagan nation in Europe. The Pope sent envoys to Lithuania in 1324 but discovered much more going on than making Europe completely Christian.

Oh, and there will be romance between a Lithuanian girl and one of the French knights who travels with the envoy.

I like the werewolf idea-- I work at a library and a patron asked me about teen vampire/werewolf books and I was drawing a blank because recent novels and series have left much to be desired. I wouldn't mind something with a fresh take like that :)

I have been locked into my story idea for two years. This year I'm writing the second book in my trilogy of fantasy books (book 3 was written for NaNo 2010, book 1 was last year's). My main character is now 18, grieving the death of his grandfather/guardian and is going to run into an old enemy on top of that.
