Cameron is the author of Right to Write! :) Diana, I have a world in which to set my story, but no plot. Not even a hint of one which scares the bejeebers out of me. I thought if I figured out who lived in my weird little world maybe they would tell me what should happen... So far, the strategy is not really working for me. Elaine, I still think the psychic goo is a great fall back! tee hee hee Amy, it’s so funny you would mention that book. Cameron is the author of Right to Write! :)

Well, we told them that at the beginning of the writing process. Obviously there was editing later. But still, it takes the pressure off to get started. I still have nothing -- you are way ahead of where I've ever been going into NaNo, though I am way behind where I generally am. But hey, I've got almost two months to come up with more ideas! Right?

So do you have a plot already with characters all lined up? I have nothing! Some of my favorite male names: Roarke, Devin, Christian, Bennett, Olsen, Briggs, Barron.

Excellent book to work you through your self-imposed roadblocks between you and your desired creative outlet (for me, it's painting).
