...and I'm ready! I did my first NaNo last year, and it was a blast! I only had a month to figure out what NaNo was and to think about what I wanted to write. This time, I have a much better handle on it. For me, at least for this year, it's helped to give a great deal of thought to my characters, setting, plotline, etc.
Mintyfresh, I just started with the idea for a setting - a big, historic home back in my hometown. It looks like it would make a great bed and breakfast. I started using "what if?" What if the owner of the house didn't know how to run a B&B? What if he needs advice from a guest at the inn, a young woman who just happens to be looking for a job? What if he needs her help - and, indeed, even her love - but just can't express it? See what I mean? You kind of let your "what ifs" ramble along. (Make sure to keep a pencil and paper handy.) Oh, and how did you get your links to be behind the word "here"? Thanks.
If anyone would like to see it, here's my blog regarding my genre http://sweetromancewriting.blogspot.com.
NaNo, NaNo, everyone!
