welcome!
...to, hopefully, a new novel. Or the start of one, anyway, lord knows I have yet to finish a single one I cranked out in a November. I came close last year...but Revision January made me see the giant chunks that were missing from the storyline. They're big enough chunks that I've actually considered working on that novel for *this* NaNo, in hopes of actually finishing it. It feels a little like cheating, but, hey, if I get another 50K, it's all to the artistic good.
But I do have a few more story ideas I've had kicking around for awhile, and I may give one of them a shot. I spent a lunch break jotting down notes on one idea I've wanted to do more with...and suddenly had three little pages filled with outlines and ideas. So that might be the one I go with, but I still need to work out a few kinks. Like the age of my main character. And, uh, what the whole point of the story will be, besides giving me an excuse to invent a haunted house. ;p
Now it is possible that in the middle of this beast, I will be moving across the country. BUT, I pulled off my first NaNo win last year, when I'd just taken on a second job that had 12-hour shifts and ate my soul, SO, a cross-country move is no excuse.
(Now someone please remind me I said that, about halfway through next month.)
