O.K. I'm in.
I think.
I tried Nano last year and didn't get very far. I seem to suffer perpetually from writer's block. I'm sure there's some psychological explanation like I'm afraid of imperfection and afraid of people mocking my art and I'm lazy. ;)
Really, I just felt overwhelmed, like I do know, and a little desperate for an idea for a plot that goes more than one sentence. Heh.
So, I've got a couple of tentative ideas.
I could write a space western-type thing; maybe fanfic for Firefly/Serenity. I think fanfic still fits in the rules, particularly if I'm just writing in the "'verse" and not using any of the characters.
Or I could write a dark fantasy with vampires, magic users, and vampire hunters set in New Orleans and maybe climaxing during Hurricane Katrina.
Then there's always been the desire to write a Celtic space-kind-of-thing, but again what's the plot? Who are the characters?
Why has my brain suddenly gone blank as soon as I started thinking about writing for Nano?

This is my first time, so I am not sure what advice to give! (Have fun?) Screw 'em if they can't take a joke?
I've got it: "Balls to the Wall, baby!"
