A prequel perhaps?<br /><br />My NaNo story is completely new. Most of my short stories are best suited as short stories, however, I have one character whom I could throw into different situations and expand that into a novel. Cart before the horse ;-)<br /><br />We've got 50K words to get moving on...tick, tock.Jason Runnelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656622649601360477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868709417830696361.post-8722673443785571372011-10-27T13:29:35.716-05:002011-10-27T13:29:35.716-05:00I'm writing my first sequel this November, whi...I'm writing my first sequel this November, which will definitely be a challenge. I've never written a sequel before, and I've never produced 50,000 words in 30 days. We'll see what November brings!<br /><br />Jason, will you be expanding on one of your short stories this November, or starting with a completely new idea?Lori O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15041911314121775667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868709417830696361.post-27086142615934109482011-10-21T22:19:56.863-05:002011-10-21T22:19:56.863-05:00Hi Craig, I'm looking forward to more stories ...Hi Craig, I'm looking forward to more stories from you.

Must keep you really sharp. <br /><br />As for trying new things, I love challenging myself with my writing. Every time I write a short story I write it from a new character's point of view in that one time it might be an 80 year old man or another it might be a little girl. I try get into their heads and write down what they would do. What they would feel. Can be interesting...Craig Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176851401465801580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868709417830696361.post-39969181042879317362011-10-20T20:16:30.877-05:002011-10-20T20:16:30.877-05:00Hi Mindi, I'm sure somewhere around November 1...Hi Mindi, I'm sure somewhere around November 15th I'll be wishing I was revising instead of trying to hammer out the first draft.

Yeah! <br />I write different genres that require different tones and POVs to help get the juices back to rolling. <br />I too, bore easily and so have to write the short stories/blog posts/etc. in between to keep it going. I completely understand your situation. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868709417830696361.post-24353037778307416062011-10-20T05:39:31.945-05:002011-10-20T05:39:31.945-05:00Good luck Chipper and Jason.

Though I'm not doing NaNo in November, I do have a plan to write my novel 2nd draft in one month (mid-December to January.) We'll see how that goes. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508887711850480059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868709417830696361.post-18477471663924933612011-10-16T20:24:52.761-05:002011-10-16T20:24:52.761-05:00:-)

It's a bit out of the box for me because it's got a little more horror in it than I typically write. Not a lot. Just enough to be different for me.Chipper Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500665992146450616noreply@blogger.com
