*Obligatory 'I'm not dead yet' goes here*
So yes, I'll do it again this year. I didn't quite manage to finish the novel I did last year, but then, I derped around for half of the month, too. So, with a definitive 'yes' set long before the start date, maybe this year I'll actually finish. (or at least meet the word count requirement. >.>)
This year, I'm considering three possibilities:
1) A total revamp of the novel ideas from last year. I've spent most of this past year looking at the original and finally deleted the whole thing; it was a good experience, but not bookshelf worthy. It also had a few good ideas, but I think I actually wrote better crap in high school...which is kinda scary if you think about it. I learned a lot from the experience, though.
2) Something that already has a working title: "Jamjar City". Uh yeah...anyone I RP with MIGHT be able to guess at the content. *cough* I actually want to do my own jamjar rp (On the horror side of things) and this might be a good way to figure out the setting, what happened before players got there, and so forth. Again, might not be bookshelf worthy when I'm done with it, but I'll still learn from it, and IF I ever get my lazy self going, it would definitely help with the game.
3) Working on 'my' part of a novel idea Ruthy and I had started a while back, but we both pretty much dropped. Again, working with the (maybe overly) familiar here, but since I suspect I'm going at this thing from a 'I'd like to finish it this time' mindset, that might be best. Once I have a semi-coherent, full story down, it might help with the rest.
So, that's that.
BTW, does anyone know how good Ol' Jon is doing after tearing his leg up? I kinda lost track of that (I'm assuming he's fine since the tour date announcements keep showing up in my inbox, but I still wonder...because I'm like that).
Oh yeah...THINK ME GOOD LUCK THOUGHTS. I bought a lotto ticket. Winning would be awesome. >.>
