(no subject)
Oct. 27th, 2014 02:41 pmI am pondering options for this year's NaNo. Can't decide.
Things I have thought of so far:
a) Just writing words, even if it's the equivalent of morning pages (i.e. whatever, coherent or not)
b) Writing words about a pre-selected prompt (e.g. make a table of words to prompt on, or make an alphabet list of prompts plus four more, or a list of random stuff that I use a random number generator on, or prompts from various *_bingo things, or something), but not necessarily a story
c) Write thirty separate story snippets about pre-selected or randomised prompts
d) Write thirty connected story snippets (which is sort of like a very disorganized novel?) about etc.
e) Write about myself, my life, my medical adventures, etc. I don't know whether I can remember enough to make 50k words but whatever.
f) Try for actual authentic NaNo experience, i.e. writing a novel, which is likely to fail so hard but would be legit
I also can't decide whether, for options other than e, to do fanfic or origfic or some mixture of both.
Mrgh.
Advice, anyone?
