I'll tell you what I've done for nearly every university writing assignment: written fanfic and then changed the characters very slightly and the names as much as I possibly can. I also wrote a piece made almost entirely of stories a verbally diarrhoeaic friend told me. Writing is all about plagiarism with your own twist.
Only I didn't tell you that.
I've signed up for NaNoWriMo but it's possible I won't manage it if other stuff (like the editting job) actually happens. 1700 words a day is quite a target, especially as one day is my birthday, two days feature friends visiting and also a possible weekend in Leeds... Gah!
Good luck to you, though! You write very nicely in blog form, so you'll at least have style on your side :)
