I don't appear to be asleep
Oct. 18th, 2006 08:48 pmAnd yet I'm thinking about NaNoWriMo, almost seriously.
I'm an accountant, for heaven's sake. I don't do emotive, sensitive, suspension-of-disbelief writing. I only started to write at all a few months ago, and that's just been a few drabbles for
wk_100, a fandom that even leaves people in Forbidden Planet & Travelling Man looking blank (not black, which I typed originally). When I try dialogue, my Inner Grammar Fairy waves her magic wand & forces everyone to speak correctly.
Really, 50,000 words just isn't going to happen, so I'll need to do something else instead.
...And that's where I run out of ideas. WK fanfic has almost limitless scope, but less than half a dozen of you will know what I'm going on about. I could write what I know, but you'd all fall off your chairs in torpor after the first couple of lines. Corporate Tax Law does that to people, more often than you'd think.
So. You. Ideas. Goodness knows, I've asked other people for drabbles & ficlets often enough; I want to give something (other than incoherent adoring feedback) back. Fanfic, original brainsplurge, An Explanation Of Something, a userpic - I'd like to do something each day of November.
*Waves hands imperiously* Inspire me, Friends.
