purlsandpearls I...think I wanna do NaNo again this year. Or at least...try. Maybe I can actually get 50k words if I split it between like, three stories? I have First Days, I've just started Mistcatchers, and I have an idea for one called Playlist (songfic-that-is-not-a-songfic, with chapters inspired by songs) that's basically using a playlist of mine to follow a character through a breakup and into a new relationship. That one is probably gonna be a collection of one-shots so I can make New Rules into a three-shot. God, that's gonna be a good one. Yes. So very inspired for that one, hah.
Is it sacrilege to do NaNo over multiple stories? I...dunno. Can I actually *do* NaNo? We'll see. Haven't managed to finish it yet, but if I journal *and* write the stories I might actually hit the 50k words. Just will have to remember to copy/paste everything into a single word doc so I have all 50k words in one place, I guess.
I'm struggling with where to go with Mistcatchers. It started as this great idea (sexy lady assassin is assigned to kill sexy powerful man except she falls in love with him) and I've kinda stalled. Maybe I'm trying to do too much worldbuilding. Do I make this into a new world or a new universe? Right now I've got it as galaxy/universe, with her having gone to different planets and shit, but like...this world I've created has no reason for people to leave and go elsewhere? It seems really unconnected with the rest of the galaxy, that is. Sigh. I should probably grumble at that Word doc a bit more.
