RIP Creamsicle, one of our three goldfish, this morning. Poor little dude - he's been fading for days. :(
Today I will work on Black Sails, and also try to lay out my plot for my NaNo project.
this was last year's poll with descriptions of my four ideas.
I think I've decided to do the modern romantic thriller idea with genre elements. The three fantasy ideas are more problematic: one is too large to deal with in NaNo (and possibly the Dragons in the East thing is too reminiscent of GoT these days. It wouldn't be the same, but still) One is part of a world I created with others which makes it legally un-doable and therefore pointless to rewrite. The third I have a draft for it that I'd completely replot and redo but I'm just not enthused about it enough.
But thrillers mean hardcore structure and plot. Which since I don't actually KNOW the whole plot, means I better get to figuring it out! I don't even know my female lead well enough since I kind of want her to do incompatible things.
And I'm also trying to decide whether writing it as a fanfic AU (which is what it started out as) or stripping that out from the beginning (i.e. changing the names) will make it quicker/easier to write.
