Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time for NaNoWriMo 2007! And I'm all signed up and ready to go. All I have to do now is come up with a novel. But that's the easy part anyhow, right?
I did a month-long-novel in July '05 and only finished because I wrote the last some 15k words in a two-day writing binge. But oh was it beautiful. Well, as beautiful as a novel about family, friends and love which halfway through turns into a supernatural zombie hell-on-earth survival story can be. Which I think is pretty beautiful. I was tempted to do aliens, but zombies won out in the end. They're easier to write. You don't have to worry much about motivation when motivation is brains. Aliens are all complicated and have technology and desires and all that nonsense. Except alien zombies, which might just be where my next novel lands once I've given up on plot.
