I found the idea of notecards from Chris Baty’s No Plot! No Problem! book ages ago. I decided to impliment it for my last NaNo novel but as it normally goes, I found out that I simply cannot edit any NaNo Novel. I don’t have enough practice with so much… stuff. And with NaNo you put in a bunch of…. stuff… just for the wordcount.
So I decided to edit a novel that I’d put aside for NaNo back in 2005, then finished up after that. It’s seasonal too, right as fall is making it’s show, with Momma Nature’s amnesia about the temperatures.
Now I download a ton of music. If you’re ever around me I allways have music going. Mainly because either it’s something new or the last song I heard that I recognize gets stuck in my head. So I allways am downloading and looking for new music.
While making a foray into download land I decided to download this one song, and while listening to it I got my idea. I’d wanted to do something dark, mysterious, like the picture at the top of my page (which is why I like this format, I love that picture up there, it’s very inspiring to me. I want to wander those trails and find where they go, because it’s gotta be under 80º in them.)
The song I’d downloaded with a bunch of other music I was thinking of while watching fan trailers for the Twilight Series, I downloaded the song Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. I thought it was interesting. What if a girl did fall in love with Death. That would be interesting.
So I decided to keep with that theme and that’s going to be my novel for NaNoWriMo… Now only one problem. How do I keep myself from writing it NOW? LOL
