NANO!!!!!!!!

I am reading the book No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty, who created NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I am on fire for this project! This guy has the most (if you’ll pardon the pun) NOVEL ideas about how to write. Everything he says goes completely against the grain of everything you’ve ever been told about writing, yet it all makes complete sense! I am so anxious to give his ideas a whirl, I don’t know if I can wait until November. I will definately write a novel in November, but I think I might try another one sooner than that, maybe March or April.

I started thinking about what I might write, and I remembered a story I had dreamed up once but never really written much more than a few notes, but now I’m thinking and thinking on it, and I think I can make it work. This is so exciting, to be doing fiction again! Ive got names for my characters, a little history and and a basic plotline, so I am READY TO GO!!!

On another note, I have just finished watching the last of the Hornblower movies, and I am in love with Ioan Gruffudd, AND with Horatio Hornblower. Why don’t we have heroes like that anymore? And why is it that all the really gorgeous actors come from faraway places like Wales and Australia? You’ve got to love the accent.
