NaNoWriMo 2009
I signed up for the 2009 NaNoWriMo this week, although now I'm not too sure if I'm going to have as much time as I thought I would to write. Well, I'm going to give it the good ol' college try at any rate, and see if I can at least beat my 21K from last year if I can't win it.
I don't have a clear idea of what I'm doing yet, and as of right now, I'm leaning towards writing a novel-length Percy Jackson and the Olympians fan fiction. I do have a couple of original ideas, but none of them really stand out to me and I have an awful feeling that if I go the original fiction route, I'm going to do a repeat of last year where I stop in the middle just because I hate my story and characters. I'd rather stick with something I know I'm going to have fun writing, even if it is fan fiction.
Unfortunately, I've already started writing the PJO AU that I really, really like and I'd be -8K right off the bat. I'm sure I'd be able to get the AU to over 50K, but I'd hate to come up short at crunch time. But I do have a back-up idea I'm equally enthusiastic about, so it's all really a matter of me just making a decision about what I want to do.
How about everyone else? Decided if you're going to participate? What are you writing?
