So, it's the start of a new month, along with the start of a new school year for some, and this seems to be the time of year that I get flooded with plot bunnies. It's like something turns on in my brain with the fall season more than any other season of the year. Sure, I get some with spring and summer, but nothing like with fall. It seems like anything I look at might be a good story.
Case in point, at the library, there's a book about ghost haunting places in Chicago. Wouldn't it be a cool idea to research a story like that and tell it from the ghost's point of view? Or even doing some research and doing a historical fiction novel about the Salem witch trials. Although, I think that one has been done to death but it's an idea. There's also the fact that I keep on reminding myself I want to research more into steampunk, which is not the easiest thing to do. Well, it is if you read the genre, which I do, but otherwise? It's kind of like fantasy; you make it up as you go along and hope that it all meshes in the end, I guess.
In speaking about story ideas, I'm realizing all I have left to do for the year. I have stories that I want to finish up before jumping headfirst into NaNoWriMo with two story ideas - the steampunk one called Sky Pirates and a fantasy one called the Scribe's Daughter - and I'm trying to think on how it's going to get done. Well, no, I know how it's going to get done because you sit your butt in the chair and write. That's the simple answer. I think it's more that I'm feeling overwhelmed and it's best to just take one project at a time. So, here's the projects left and the order they're going to be written in:
~Mages and Sorcerers - Unofficial 3 Day Novel Project
~Hidden Scions - Novel I started writing in August
~Prelude to a Heart - fantasy/romance novel that I started in February. Yikes.
~Mystery of the Dark 3.0 - my dhampir novel that really needs to get going or something. This seems to get written whenever I want to write something that's not the other projects. Lovely.
I could have sworn that I started more this year. Maybe it just feels like more? Or they were short stories here and there instead of novels. Oh well. So, that's the plan - finish what's already started. Also, I'm not allowed to start anything else until November. *laughs* Yeah, we'll see how that goes.
