I gotta come up with an idea for NaNoWriMo. -_- It just hit me today how soon November will be here, and I have no idea what I'm going to write! I may have to resort to last year's abandoned plot. Yeah, I know I lost interest in it only a few days in, but I think that was more the fact that I was obsessed with Sims and wasn't really interested in writing anything, period, rather than the idea itself being bad. However, if I do use it, I'll probably make a few changes, namely changing the main setting from London to Los Angeles. I think that'll be easier to write. It was just around the time the main character was supposed to go to London that I quit, because I didn't have time to do the research I wanted to do.

Then again, I'm also kinda, sorta interested in writing a supernatural mystery story. I blame it on all the supernatural anime I've been watching lately. I've never written one before, though, so I don't know... It might be best to stick with something I know I can do. Romance may not be my strong suit, but I know I can write it. A mystery? Well, to be lame, that's a total mystery to me!

On a positive writing note, I think I actually may finish the rough draft of To Be By Your Side by the Halloween deadline I set. I've actually just started to write what will probably be the last chapter. (I haven't decided yet how I'll break things up.) Granted, I'm sure I'll have to do quite a bit of rewriting because I still want to use the scenes I said I might have to cut and some of the newer scenes are rather bare-boned at the moment, but it feels good to at least have the main parts almost done. I may even have it ready for posting by Christmas. No promises, but we'll see how it goes.

*thinks*

When in doubt, perhaps watch something in the same genre you were thinking about writing? All those supernatural anime have to be doing something right. Right?
