Yay, Kristi! Do you want to be my NaNoWriMo writing buddy?
I have none right now. My friendlist more empty than my soul.

Hey, I mentioned Createspace was giving away a few free paperback copies for NaNoWriMo winners, right? Sounds like Lulu is trying to one-up them with a free hardcover print... www.letsgowrimos.com/

Y'all my buddies now! I have a vague plot idea, too. Will probably do some character planning and such after work.

Here's my link: nanowrimo.org/participants/indeaI have a basic plot, it's completely different to my previous and consisted of a whole lot of plot generators mixed with some ideas. I just decided to find a plot and stick with it no matter how stupid or unoriginal. So here's the loose basic idea, criticism/ideas welcomed. A 15 year old boy believes that his toe is being haunted by an eccentric old ghost of a man who committed suicide 50 years ago. His next door neighbours are an elderly couple who are trying to destroy what they believe is a gateway to an alternate universe, a gazebo in a nearby park. I'm pretty much open to any suggestions.

@ Indea - It sounds quirky and sorta surreal: I dig that, mang! Plus, the readers will be wondering: is there really an alternate universe? Is his toe actually haunted? Or could these be figments of unstable minds?! Keep them hooked. That's awesome.

Sounds like a plan to me. Make it so. (Allowed to Picard because I'm bald.)

Uggu, midterm week. These academic places always ruin the month of October with conferences and exams. But on the bright side, added stress gave me an idea for NaNoWriMo!
I think I'll write about a really dysfunctional research laboratory (disclaimer: not based on anyone/place I know 8< ). Weird silly drama and such. Maybe some speculative components, too. There will be a whodunnit angle involved, but I'm not aiming for pure mystery. It makes sense in my head.

Sounds awesome! I'm sure it'll be the bomb dot com! ;D And in no way representative of an actual laboratory.

I was disappointed by the actual website associated with "bomb.com" - it's awful. Nobody go there.
Also, to make this post vaguely about the thread's NaNoWriMo subject, is anyone planning to design a cover for their entry (assuming you get far enough?)

That sounds like a good segue into this. I made a thread here: nanowrimo.org/forums/marketing-self-promotion-and-stuff-for-sale/threads/126199Offering to do art stuff, from book covers to avatars, and I have no bites. If anyone should go there and say, "Why, that looks tremendous. I would gladly purchase such goods and services with my hard earned United States dollars," it might help. Or get me deleted for having my buddies give me the bump-up. Not sure how that works. How could I not design my own cover? BTW, If bomb dot com doesn't have animated gifs and an eternal loop midi of this then U are right. No one should go there.

I'm totally going to bed for reals now, but I wanted to put in a little more work into my fanciful and anonymized bio for my NaNoWriMo profile. I bet by time I am done, I will have spent more time on it than I did the three page paper for my poetry class.

@ Christopher - It does not. It's a damn shame. "You Dropped a Bomb On Me" deserves a domain by that name. This injustice must be fixed. It's really profane. Somebody oughtta buy the site and fill it with gifs and the Gap Band. Make things right. From now on, I'll leave poems to Indea. Good night.
