Complex Numbers

Really? Now?

It's halfway through October, so of course now I get an idea for NaNoWriMo.

I suppose that's better than getting one halfway through November, but still, that means either no Prep, or Prep on my own, which would be fine except a) I've never done NaNo without going through the preparation process first and b) I'm used to writing some combination of fantasy and/or science fiction, and this one isn't.

Hell, I don't even read anything without some elements of fantasy or SF (or at least supernatural bits, which is weird because I don't accept the existence of the supernatural) in it, so I have no idea how to write true-to-life fiction.

I suppose I could find a way to incorporate said elements, but that would also take the story in a direction other than the one I'm considering. Might be worth it, though. I mean, fiction is fiction, right?

On top of which I have three "successful" NaNoWriMo projects that are badly in need of editing, and my whole rationale for not doing one this year is that every time I think of writing something new, my brain just wants me to finish the projects I've already started.

If I were writing the story of my life, my brain would be the primary antagonist. Stupid brain.
