Life and NaNo update

Ok, I thought I was getting over my illness, but it seems that spending my Sunday afternoon at a windy Gillette Stadium watching the Patriots stomp on the Redskins, was not a good way to recover from the plague I suffered last week. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the beat down as any Pat’s fan would, but the cold relentless wind has brought back the horrible yuck feeling. I can tell I’m back on the road to plagueville. I am hoping that I can catch this before I get to bad, but I have no real idea how to prevent the yuck. I tried everything last time and it didn’t help at all.

In other news, NaNoWriMo starts in 3 days. I have no idea what to write about. Well that isn’t exactly true, I have plenty of ideas. I just need to settle on one idea and do it. My fried Dave really wants me to write about my characters exploits in his game world. I feel that it would be an injustice to do that for NaNo. I would much rather take my time and do as good a job as I’m capable of. NaNoWriMo doesn’t really give me that option as I have to do 50,000 words in 30 days. I am leaning toward an idea about a Heroes type story. It would mean no listening to Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps until after NaNoWriMo was over. I wouldn’t want my idea to be tainted by her story of Super Heroes. Which I am bummed about, I love her writing and am looking forward to listening to her first novel. Anyway, I think I will go with my story-line but I don’t have any outline, background or any character development. I have 3 days to get something set up and ready to go, or I’ll be winging it big time and I really don’t think that is a good idea.
