NaNo HIGHJACKED!

[rosepddle]

This is not a post about losing my NaNo buzz. I don’t need a pep talk, even though I’ll never turn down encouragement. I was perfectly jazzed about my new WIP and was kicking away at full speed for the last week, cranking out twice the suggested amount needed to have 50k by the end of November.

But then something happened.

Another story highjacked my

That happened to me recently, where I was working on my current wip and then this other story popped in my head. I'm now writing both stories though the newer one is going a lot more slowly which is ok though it's going to take some getting used to. :) The older one is coming along nicely, though. :)
That new story sounds like a great idea, I hope that it becomes a great story for you. :) Happy writing. :)

Thanks! And good luck with your stories too.

Oh, how exciting! I love it when you get this scene in your head, and then it expands into a backstory and a present and a future. It's just... awesome.

In fact, my first book was a story highjack. I was writing an adult sci-fi novel when *poof* my brain could only think of a strong-willed American teen, the leader singer in a band, discovers she's the so-called chosen one of an alien race (hate the word alien, blah! Sounds so dumb!). Anyway, I wrote that book in 11 days when I'd been slaving on the prevoius sci-fi one for several years. :-)

That alien one sounds cool! And although the word alien doesn't bother me, I'm the same way with saying my characters have "powers", it seems so lame-lol.

Awesome!! That's the sign of a good story. I've got a sci-fi licensed magic story that likes to grab me. It's been quite kind, usually just a scene or two then it lets me get back to Deep Within

Sci-fi licensed magic sounds interesting...keep me posted!

I think you know what has hijacked my brain, so consequently I have loads of story ideas waiting around to be written, with only bits and pieces of any of them actually done.

As long as your brain is highjacked by something, that's all that matters! lol.
