NaNoWriMo is approaching, (November 1st) and I don't know what to write.
I've been in editing mode -- Apocalypse is a good amount of the way done edit-wise, while I just got handed back my first novel, Gaia's Hands, from the developmental editor. I have enough editing for the next couple months at least.
But NaNo is about writing, not editing.
I haven't written new for a while because of my editing needs. Although I haven't finished Whose Hearts are Mountains, there's not enough material left to make the 50,000 word total for NaNo.
I need an idea for a new novel by November 1.
I have a couple on the back burner: the sequel to Voyageurs, where our two characters time travel to stop the end of the world due to climate change, but that doesn't appeal to me. In fact, I feel like I've backed myself into a corner writing a book that obviously has a sequel. It's not just the research I would have to do, but the fact that I don't know if I have enough plot to support the 80,000 word minimum for whatever genre it is.
The other involves an Archetype war with hideous implications for humans. I am so far away from the Archetype universe right now that I don't know if I can create this.
I need inspiration -- help!
Muse, if you're out there, inspire me!
