It's time to start thinking about Nanowrimo again! LOL that's all I ever use this blog for, I swear.

So I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's good enough for Nanowrimo. And when I say good, I mean meaty enough. I have an idea in my head - a really really rough sketch, but it's definitely a passive kind of story. As in, the main character doesn't do anything. Literally. She sits on a park bench and observes the world. People try to interact with her, but she doesn't really respond, and people just go along with their own lives. Nothing happens. The ironic part? The title: The Story of a Girl. It's not really about her... but it is. And maybe, eventually, she'll start interacting with the environment. Something will catch her interest enough to get her to talk, and maybe she'll communicate somehow.

So like I sad, a rough rough sketch. Can I really babble on and on for 50k words about a girl who doesn't do anything? I could see this having great dares - imagine the things she observes! But I also want this to be a serious piece, and that might be too tough for this November. Especially since I didn't win last year. =( But my other idea is too silly and flighty. I want to write something a litle darker, with genuinely developed characters. Yes, a genuine piece for Nanowrimo - it's impossible! But we'll see. Hey, I reread some stuff I wrote last year and parts of it were pretty good. So... we'll see.

In other news, I have an acting assignment that makes no sense to me.  I know, I know, it seems impossible. Acting assignments on the outside are usually easy, but once you develop the work it's hard. Not for this. It's a super open-ended assignment and so I'm not sure exactly what to do. Plus it's supposed to be performed on Thursday. I bet I'll be having a couple late-nighters the next few nights. Not all nighters though - I can't do those. I think I need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep to function without yawning all day. Luckily my first class isn't until 11AM tomorrow, so I'm good on that front!!
