deckardcanineYou might expect me to give NaNoWriMo another go, especially now that I work only half time. But seeing as I still don't have a good idea four days in, I won't.
This might not have been a problem if I hadn't ruled out all fantasy and sci-fi premises when I started thinking about it again. Yeah, I wanted to broaden myself with a little realism for a change. In particular, I wanted to write something funny, because I seem to get more appreciation when I use humor. Alas, I've read very few humorous novels, and most were fantasy or sci-fi. I thought about imitating movies I like -- maybe a crime caper like Snatch. (the period is part of the official title) -- but the ideas I cooked up didn't coalesce into a lengthy story.
Oh well, there are other creative endeavors calling to me. Some online associates are calling for drawings or even comic strip arcs from anyone. And I did skip my traditional Poetry Week last month.
