help?

[teromain]

I'm unmotivated on NaNo right now because I just UGH STORY WHATEVER and I'm way more interested in my other projects (like, all ten of them) and my MC's narrative voice is harrrrd to fall into and I keep losing it and then not caring and just bleh.

Somebody just give me something, like a prompt - a place, an object, a type of person, character(s)

In the spirit of silliness,

A unicorn wearing a trihorn hat. Somehow.

[teromain]

This kind of trihorn hat?

It's really sad that I actually came up with a way to put that in and have it make sense, almost instantly. Helps that my story is urban fantasy.

[dmlpacker]

That's the exact hat I was imagining!

I can't wait to see how this would fit in :)

[teromain]

It was either the piratey looking one or the feathery embroidered Commodore Norrington hat. XD

I might post excerpts just to see if it sounds interesting enough to people to bother putting on fp.com; I'll put up that one if I do. :D

(don't mind me, I'm just a fan who is normally too shy to say anything at all!)

How about, your character is leaving work/home, and the lights shut off. They are (or so they think) the only person there.
Or... they get a Dear John letter from someone? Or an inanimate object?
One of my favorites is "it's actually raining cats and dogs! what happens?"

hopefully I could be of some help. ^^;

(hi there!)

Actually I can use that first one....pretty well, really. It definitely fits. :D

One of my brother's friends was having trouble one year so he had someone get beat to death with a shovel. And now every year in his NaNo novel he works it in somehow just because.

But I totally understand how you feel. Except I'm like 10,000 words behind you. Ha. *facepalm*

I seem to have the same sort of thing with a reoccurring theme...although it always ends up being that two dudes are vaguely gay for each other. And my MC this year is actually straight FOR ONCE.

I have a ton of scenes I need to write and could write and know what needs to happen...but for some reason I'm just like, "nah. dun wanna."

[schlicky]

Vaguely gay for each other. Bahaha. Something about that sentence made me laugh a little more than was probably necessary.

I'm totally in the "nah. dun wanna" boat, too. Yay, company!
