Okay okay okay okay okay!

So, after much fussing at by metafrantic, and a great deal of consideration in the back of my head, I've gone ahead and signed up for NaNoWriMo again this year.

See?


I have no idea what in hell I'm going to write. Maybe some nice trashy chicklit, verging on erotic fiction. I've been reading a lot of that lately, in a "I'm tired and don't want to think" way.

swimmer2006, care to join your crazy mom in this?


Edit: I know what I might write. I might use my grandparents' lives (such as I know of) as a basis for a story. When you think about it, my family is full of scandal.

My maternal grandfather left my grandmother for another woman, having cheated on her for years anyway, for which my mom and uncle never really forgave him. My paternal grandfather, whom I never met, shot himself in the head in 1960 (sixteen years before I came along); my paternal grandmother was married three times and only widowed once. Her second husband left her for her best friend, and her son (my dad) stayed close to his ex-stepdad anyway because he was mad at my grandmother for siding with my mom in the divorce. Surely I can generate 50,000 soapish words out of that. *grin*

*pokes swimmer2006* C'mon, join your crazy mom! You are incredibly lucky to have a mom who encourages you so much, and then also prods you about doing something so insane!

I'm taking her to a Halloween party on Saturday; I'll pester the life out of her about it then. *grin*

LOL, what a perfect time for it! Hey, just point to someone in an absurd costume and say "Write about them, they're a novel by themselves!"

Sounds like a plan. You don't mind if I borrow that line, do you?

go for it! I hope it works!

And, if you want, I even threw out a plot on the NaNo thread at RS. Free for the taking if she wants it. If not, that's cool too.

Come on, Swimmer. Hop in the pool and join the fun!

Well, if she wants it, I'll have to convey it to her, as she's only 14 and therefore not allowed on RS.
