At the Start, Again
After three novels in the same universe in three years I think I'm tapped out. That'll make for a strange novel writing this year. Maybe something emotionally complex, or obtuse... Chronicling the lives of intestinal bacteria? A study of the interactions between antisocial cats and lint?
Writing "word" in every sentence of a 50,002-word novel?
How about doing a 'torn from the headlines' novel: the same set of characters go through each 'found' trauma every day but, unlike the Simpsons, the stage never resets. In other words, if Bart kills the principal one day, Skinner's not back the next.
I've written my NaNoNovels to be publishable, but haven't -- yet. Should this be, or just an exercise in mental masturbation?
So many ideas, so little to hold them together.
(I know, I know: "No plot, no problem!")
