Hey, ho. Hope everyone is enjoying the tail end of Thanksgiving (turkey croquettes? Or turkey hash? We used to end up with some creative solutions to finishing up the leftovers about now?)
And, of course, the Nanowrimowers are running down to the wire, filling up their wordmills with just a few more revs of the keyboard, a dot and dash more to get those words up and over the goal? or perhaps sinking down into the realization that it isn't going to be 50K by midnight Tuesday, no matter what? But? at least you tried, right! And look how far you got, what you learned about setting yourself up to do it again, and what you figured out about that story that you never would have imagined without pushing for 50K in the Nanowrimo mills. Go ahead, take what you can from the month, and consider what you are going to tackle next!
Over here http://community.livejournal.com/writercises/148059.html I rambled a bit about two different, but related possibilities. First is the notion of several approaches to exploration, to giving yourself a kick in the pants, that you might want to try. Pick a number from one to 14, then try out an approach to finding new ideas. Second is just a collection of six scruples, some moral dilemmas that might spark some thoughts of a story for you. Or a subplot, or a complication, or even a flashback or just a speculation? Something or the other. Pick a number from one to six, then take a look at which moral sticky wicket you have driven your random ball into, and?
Write, of course.
