So Far Behind I'm Kicking My Own Ass

So, it's almost November. As in, National Novel Writing Month. As in, that thing I was gonna spend October planning for.

I got one character, a place where that character works, and a bunch of plot bunnies that need to DIE A FIERY DEATH BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO WRITE THAT!!!

I suck. I shoulda played soccer. (Erm. It's a college thingy.)

Don't worry. I'm still stuck at universe and plot push. I still am missing characters.

I am so screwed. I was gonna write something madcap and fairly trivial, but my brain is screaming "I like dystopia. I think you should invent a dystopia JUST FOR MEEEEE!"

Stupid brain.

couldnt you write trivial madcap dystopia?

btw, are you planning on attending the kickoff on monday night?

I don't think so. I think I'll save myself for less formal, more writing-oriented gatherings. I think I'd have a better time being social if I didn't have to talk to anyone:-)

yeah, I'm not going to be able to do any of the write-ins. Lack of a laptop, and all that jazz.

I keep getting flashes of what to write whilst doing other random things... watching TV/movies, doing the dishes, etc.

I still have some vague desires of what to write, at least one solid character, and then today I had another idea which utterly alters the book's setting... so yeah, I'm right there with you.

This is gonna be interesting.

Yeah, the actual plot of my book tends to change frequently, usually while I'm trying to sleep. It's gonna have to settle somewhere eventually... I hope.
