burntcopperpubmeet v. relaxed yesterday. discussion of food, plotbunnies and writing, a bit of tv and so on.
Only problem. due to lots of discussion of writing... I suddenly realised I haven't given a single thought to nanowrimo. ERK. With absolutely no plotbunnies on the backburner. DOUBLE ERK.
Seriously. The circle village thing, which i always thought had been a possible, seems to work a hell of a lot better as a short from outsider POV (and yes, I know I haven't finished the Jack Harkness story of that.) due to it being a plotless universe - as i described it yesterday when we were talking writing, it's one of those that would work as a sitcom/serial drama base, not a novel length story. The only other things I have in the notebooks are the MI7 (weird happenings organisation) snippets, which are basically crap, Apocalypse Albion doesn't really go anywhere beyond a few snippets, and some ongoing bits from the Narnia 'if they stayed' 'verse, which is a continuation of the Nano last year - Pevensies and Caspian and Eustace during the years pre-VotD. Most of them from the POV of Eustace or Edmund's husband, all about the weirdness of the Pevensies. Which does not make a story. GAH.
I'm so screwed.

Date: 2009-09-20 10:16 pm (UTC)As for the NaNo situation, I’m sure that ideas will spring forth. There’s nothing like an approaching deadline to concentrate the mind, after all… Stuff the problem into your subconscious for a bit and let the other side of your brain work on it for a while.
Also, panic=adrenaline=ideas. Hopefully…
