Seems unlikely now that I’ll have the time to NaNoWriMo this year.  I had hoped to have another try at it after last year’s disaster, but it doesn’t look like I’ll really have a chance.

I’ve even managed to come up with a plot idea, which was the thing that was most worrying to me up till recently. Oh well.

As to the other stories, I haven’t really done much work at all on them. One is very close to being finished but it’s just not gelling together right. Perhaps something will occur to me soon. I hope so, because it’s been “on the drawing board” for over a year, at least and I’m sick of it.

Well, I’ve started. More with a whimper than a bang. After about, oh, four paragraphs, I realized that my story was going to be completely different to the one that I’ve outlined (gee, I’m so glad that I spent time preparing). Oh well, not to worry. With a bit of luck, the new one coming out of my head will work.

Until the start of NaNoWriMo. Oh-oh.

I thought I was ready but now I’m not so sure. The outline I’ve made seems a little inadequate for 50,000 words but we shall see. Maybe in the next 48 hours or so, I’ll be struck with the 50K inspiration stick. Let’s hope so, anyway.

I’d hoped to finish “the dark story” before I launch into NaNoWriMo, but now I’m not sure that it’ll be finished. The ending is a bit lame (a large bit), so hopefully, something will occur to me to fix it.

Fingers crossed!
