Two responses to the affirmative later (hey, I never said I was popular!) and I'm being swayed. I really should work on how easily influenced I am.
Normally on the lead-in to a NaNo project I'm scrabbling around like a lunatic, trying to scrape together enough inspiration to keep me going over the month. More than once I've relied on dreams to give me a last minute plot (neither of which actually made it into the prose). This time, however...
Okay, I'll admit it, I'm at a loss. I'm normally struggling for ideas, now they're trying to drown me under a mountain of plot-bunnies. (They look remarkably like shed dog-hair.)
I have, in no particular order:
- Prince Til and his dragon/lover, who're still tapping their feet and waiting for me to supply them with an adequate adventure;
- An unnamed princess and her dragon/lover who turned up and promptly insisted she wasn't going to sit around in her tower for a husband, oh no--she was going to be a knight;
- A completely out-of-nowhere steampunk AU for Milos and Alex--because one AU is never enough, apparently;
- Continuing my high fantasy AU from the Ridiculous Challenge (but I usually prefer to start a new project, which is probably why I have so many unfinished ones);
- Leaping forward nine years in the high fantasy AU and having Alex rescue Milos from his new life;
- Finally picking up with the real-world stories and starting the new arc that came threatening;
- Or finally finishing one of the two former arcs that are sitting around waiting to be worked on...
Whatever I do, it'll involve plotting, which comes as a shock. And I have around a week to decide on story and intended word count and work on it.
Still, I'm anticipating having plenty of time to work on it so with any luck (okay, a lot of luck) and some planning it won't be as disastrous as it currently feels like it might be...
