Hey! How are you today? I'm good, though I was better last week when hubby was still on annual leave, and we slept in and had an awesome relaxing time.
Now, it's time to get back into the swing of things. And this month, that means thinking about my next writing project.
As you probably already know, because I posted a lengthy post about it last year, I enjoy taking part in NaNoWriMo. And this year will be no different.

Sure, at the moment I have no idea which of my (many) projects I'll be tackling, but that's what I plan to do for the rest of October. I'm going to go through my Idea Files, pick the three loudest ones, and then take it from there.
It worked when my head was cluttered with ideas a few months ago. It's how I ended up picking Monsters, and then spent September caught up in a fun whirlwind of myth and horror. 😁
So, fingers crossed it works again because I gotta squeeze in some NaNoPrep.

Since I mentioned my interest in taking part--and I added another one to the list--I'm going to post a breakdown of my NaNoWriMo history:
- 2006: UF (Angie)
- 2007: SFR (Shade of Grey)
- 2008: SFR (Shade of Blue)
- 2009: Horror (Sinful)
- 2010: Futuristic (Embracing Sunlight)
- 2011: N/A
- 2012: UF (Torn from the Shadows)
- 2013: SFR (Dash)
- 2014: UF (Willow)
- 2015: YA Historical (MixedTape)
- 2016: YA Horror (Haunted)
- 2017: YA SF Thriller (Cosmic Girl)
I can't believe this will be my 12th time taking part. It's always so exciting because writing another first draft before the end of the year is very appealing.
Of course, that also means adding more projects to my growing pile of WIPs To Revise, but that's not something I'm going to complain about. And it's a matter to tackle another time. 😁👍
What I really need to concentrate on right now is deciding which story needs to be told RIGHT NOW. I might not have settled on the story I want to work on yet, but I've got several possibilities already in mind.

It's just a matter of deciding whether I want to work on an adult or YA novel. Am I going back to demons? Or reigniting my love for ghosts? Will I continue to delve into horror? Or maybe I want to tackle that crazy 80s SF idea that's been circling my mind for a while...
Not sure yet.
I'll see how my planning/thinking goes this week. Either way, I'll be sure to keep you posted. As soon as I choose, I'll post about it here, and will be sure to register on the NaNoWriMo website. I won't do THAT until I've made my decision.

There's so much to think about...
So, will you be taking part this year?
