I'm doing the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year, involving writing a 50,000 word novel in a period of one month.

Writing starts November 1st, which is in a few days.

Problem is, I don't have a new idea that I haven't already begun work on. I guess I could just twist something I already have (like Juice or something) into something new. It has to be fiction.

So, for those familiar with my work, any ideas?

Edit: So I found out that I can count Juice and others as "pre-writing", so I may be able to just hunker down and complete Juice. I wanted to do Paradox, but that would involve several books, and by itself, it's already in the 37,000 word mark across all works. But, Paradox needs so much work that I don't want to rush to complete the remaining 13,000 words and end up screwing up the storyline.

So, suggestions?

Whilst I have no suggestions, I am also doing the NaNoWriMo.
My friend told me about it a week or so ago

I figured it's going to be the Internal Loathing or finishing Juice, but I haven't decided yet. Got a few days to figure it out.

Did you realize that it's 1700 words a day if you decided to write every single day?

I have too much free time.
1700 words a day is easy, seeing as how I can write 100 in 2-5 minutes.

Plus, I have been planning my story for a while

Still, good luck on this.

Yes, but making words and writing a novel are different things.

Either way, I'm hoping that a rewrite of "Internal Loathing" as the intended longer word target will force me to meet that whole novel format other than my usual short story format.

What the hell was I talking about?

Anyway, fun to read the stories....I'll publish mine after it's all done and editified.

And, I've designed cover art:

Blah.
I've officially given up on the time limit of the NaNoWriMo.
I've had too much to do, and I've only been able to write about 500 words o.o
At least I got the prologue done XD

Can't wait to read yer story

I changed stories after the third day, and started working on "Juice" instead with new cover art:


I'm up to this:


It updates throughout the day (requires a refresh), and I'm still well behind goal, but not willing to give up just yet. Just because my main character spent chapter three on the phone and cleaning his room means nothing!
