NaNoWriMo - help me choose my story!
So… I’ve been trying to sit down and decide which of the projects that I have running around in my head that are actually at the writing stage to do for NaNoWriMo. I’ve signed up, I’m doing it… and 50K words is nothing, so no worries there. The fact that I haven’t found and hour when my brain is running on all cylinders to sit at Starbucks and decide disturbs me more than doing a 50K word free write by several orders of magnitude. And, no rush on deciding; after all, NaNoWriMo only starts tomorrow night. ;)

SO, with my lack of decision making ability, all ask my wondrous f-list what they’d like to read.

Fandom idea:
Cajun Nights (X-Men AU) – I have two chapters done (I think only one posted): an alternate universe X-Men story where Ororo goes to New Orleans on holiday and to scout some mutants, and runs into our favorite Cajun, and some ‘sinister’ and ‘shadow’y elements. Explains how Remy ends up at the Mansion in that universe.

Original ideas:
The Winter Tree – a pure fantasy novel set in the RPG universe I’ve been working on since I was 11 (the same one where Tarchannon comes from). The Fae abandoned the world of Magilon, setting a great seal to prevent anyone from following. Unbeknownst to anyone, their departure created a great imbalance, and now even the forces of Magic are weakening. One God risks his own immortality to set a risky and vastly dangerous plan into motion that could restore the balance… or send all of reality into chaos.

The Cracking of the Sky – a story of a man who thinks that his life is over when he’s struck by lightning, and discovers that absolutely nothing he thought that he knew about himself and the world was right. A sci-fi adventure with mystery tones.

The Moebius Cycle (working title) – the day the first of the six gods of earth appears in public is the day humans learned that they were not alone… and that that had only one, perilously slim chance to save themselves from extinction, to evolve into something greater. And the disappointed gods, are unabashedly hedging their bets in the event of failure and accelerating potential 'sapiens' that might follow humans in their dominion of the planet if they fail. (First of a six book cycle, hard sci-fi, heavy in biology, religion, and politics, and by far the most ambitious project).

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't started writing anything yet because I've been having a lot of inner conflict over the fact that I *want* to work on Cajun Nights, but the point of NaNoWriMo is original work. I him-hawed for quite a while, until yesterday when i just decided to finish Cajun Nights, and if it's too short - screw it an work on the next story. ;)

I have this HORRIBLE cold right now - been sick for a week or more now, and it's one of those three weekers according to the gal I got it from. It's been slowing me down a lot, and I've been out of work or pulling shor days for a week now. So, crappy time to be sick , but I've got my direction now, and the writing thing is returning. I've just been in a great, huge writing drought for the last while due to various things... I'm hoping that this gets we going again, and on my own work.

Oh, I dunno. Quite a few folks do fanfic for Nano. I'd write it first, then worry about what it is ;)

Sorry about the cold. I've not had diseases but I've been having a helluva time with migranes. Plus, job insecurity continues which makes for lovely stress (and probably is the reason for hte migraines too). I was at the ER 'till 4am Sunday , with a migraine, and ended up with a cocktail of toradol, (something that beigns with a 'c') and demerol before they got it under control - and had ot be at work on Monday :/

In theory, I should have word on the permanence of my job sometime towards the end of htis month and they still seem to like me. *shrug*

Anywho, tl;dr but - have fun with the nano, I know I did the year I tried it, even though I didn't finish.
