Tentatively planning to do National Novel Writing Month again, trying to kickstart a daily writing practice that extends beyond November. But I have no idea what my novel is going to be about. I've abandoned whatever the hell I was working on last year, although I'm sure I can mine it for short story ideas. This year, I'm going to try outlining, so I don't end up getting stuck halfway through like always, but I NEED YOUR HELP.
Please post something you think I should include in my novel. This can be anything: a word, a phrase, a genre, a character, a mood, a food, a noun, a concept, a whole sentence. I'm going to crowdsource this novel and make it weird as hell, so the more incongruous your suggestions are, the more I'll have to work with.
My theory is this: NYC Midnight always forces me to write based on some pretty funky prompts, and I always come up with a story. If you, yes YOU, give me funky prompts, maybe I'll have better luck getting through Nano this year.
So give me those funky prompts.
