This week I decided on a story idea and have been outlining and doing my research, and I think it's a really fun premise and a marketable plot, so now all I have to do is write the thing and try to do something with it.
As much as I'd like to spill the whole plot, I won't, in case this actually does turn into more than a NaNo project. Suffice to say that if you, like me, take a certain guilty pleasure in watching "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," you will probably like this story. It's chick lit, and I'll own that proudly. I'm a chick and I love a good nonfiction book (speaking of which, I just finished Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer ... and ... wow) but chick lit is fun to read and to write.
One thing I can share, however, is the banner I made for myself at the NaNo site. I used a stock photo and did the editing on Piknik, which is a pretty cool site (and free), and I'm pleased with how this turned out!
It's pretty simple, but whatever. It's fun.
It will be nice to have something like this to really focus on intensely for the next month. I've been letting myself get too emotionally bogged down with worries about stuff that only time will ever tell and I need a good swift kick in the pants to snap out of it.
Then, after (and possibly during) NaNo, it's time to think about taking a certain class. A&P, I'm talking to you. Not certain how that's all going to go down, but it's in the plan. And I told people at my high school reunion last weekend, making it harder to let myself wimp out.
So that's all the news for now. Well, sort of. It's all the news that's fit to publish on the internet where anyone can read it.
