And no, the wet weather we’re having here isn’t the only reason I’m thinking of November. Late August is the time I start thinking about NaNoWriMo. Today the mood suddenly caught me, possibly because of the November like weather.
I was cycling, in the rain, when suddenly a project I’ve had on the back-burner for a while popped into my mind. The Pride of the Smiths, which might well be book one in a series about the Huroan Guild Wars, suddenly floated to the top with an “I could do that this year” feeling.
It’s a fantasy project, which also fits pretty well into my alternating SciFi or Fantasy for NaNoWriMo. Tech Runners, last year, was SciFi; Flame Dancer, 2005, was Fantasy; an Lightning, 2004, was SciFi.
Of course alternating SciFi and Fantasy isn’t a hard an fast rule, since inspiration is the most important thing for NaNo, but it’s nice to keep that tradition going.
