It can be one big scary project or a lot of little scary projects rolled up into one. The first year I did it, I got through the first week. The second year I made it to the end of week 2 but then dropped it. So this year I&#8217;ll be happy if I make it to week three.<\/p>\n<p>I now have three ideas that I am churning around in my brain for the challenge. Two of them are probably not novel length but really long short stories. The third is one I have been working on off and on for the last five years. One is theater related. One has an Asian spin. One has an Irish spin.<\/p>\n<p>I also have a Doyle\/Lovecraft crossover that I started for &#8220;Shadows over Baker Street&#8221; but never turned in. That&#8217;s on a whole other computer.<\/p>\n<p>I have a million ideas but I think all people do. Some can write and expand on these ideas and others talk about what they might do with the ideas and other people act on their ideas. I need to start writing my ideas down and expanding on them. I can write and I can write well. Now I need to learn to write long.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful that I can put my ideas together in a coherent fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time next week we will be off to the races with NaNoWriMo.
