I wake up Nov. 3rd with from a dream. With a rich background, 3 or 4 interesting characters, plot, intrigue...all set in another land, another time.

NO. No. I am not doing NaNoWriMo. I have other stuff on my plate.

Also, Happy late birthday to [info]dcdragon67. Considering I just sent her older daughter her birthday box last week, she'll be lucky to get hers before thaw. But she's an awesome sister.

add "in-law" to the above in all the right places and it goes for me too.

Beyond providing amusement, I think there's only *one* place you intended for that to go.

NaNoWriMo is a marvelous excuse to start writing something lengthy, and to get immersed in such a project. But no writer should ever feel they *must* start something in November simply because it's "NaNoWriMo" again.

Rich background, 3 or 4 interesting characters, plot, intrigue ... it can all wait a little bit. Let it age like a fine wine, and then commit it to paper (or screen, or hard drive or whatever).

(This, of course, comes from someone currently elbow-deep in a story that he never, ever expected to write in his lifetime ... and is enjoying it tremendously so far).

Hope you're well.

I found out about this after the deadline, but NPR's "On the Media" had their own challenge: To write a "novel" in 12 words or less (12 or fewer, for the terminally anal) by November 19. This might have been small enough to fit onto your plate.
