pacificpikachuOkay, it's a bit early as I still have not-quite-a-month-and-a-half, but I'm having trouble figuring out what I want to write this year for NaNoWriMo!
I had this grand, rather bizarre plot idea that I came up with quite a while back, but then, upon thinking it over, it's really too depressing to write for NaNoWriMo. I want some adventure and fun, not something that's going to make me bawl every time I write it! Depressing to a degree is kind of inevitable in my stories, but this is just too much.
So, what I would like, is little snippets of inspiration from you guys! I am not trying to just take anyone else's plot, just trying to get my brain working. Oftentimes it just takes reading or looking at one specific thing for something to spark and start building, regardless of whether the two things are related or not.
So, feel free to dump your plot bunnies you will never write, intriguing mental images that lead nowhere, pictures that you find interesting, songs that are inspiring, concepts in science/the world/psychology/whatever that could lead somewhere, and so on! Feel free to spam stuff if you want~ I'm not picky, just things that intrigue you basically! Even just "I like to see this element/plot type/character type/situation" is helpful!
Just for your reference, here's the type of stories I like to write, roughly. If what you post has absolutely nothing to do with this stuff, pleeease don't worry about it, absolutely anything helps!
Things I tend to write about:
- Involves animals in some way (obviously)
- Surrealistic and psychological, often rather metaphysical
- Prefer young-ish (my age and younger) main characters, probably because they have less to tie them down in stories.
Go go go! :D
