NaNoWriMo Ideas Needed!

[hellison]

So I have signed up again, and am quite excited!
So far I have 2 drawbacks

1. When the brother gave me the Windows XP cd to reinstall, he didn't give me an Office one too, and now he's off to Canada (more on this later). I may end up writing this on notepad. Or maybe editplus...

2. NFI what to write about. I did get an inkling of an idea many months ago, when I discovered the worthless word for the day site - http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/ - namely, to use as many of those words as possible. Of course this being wrimo I should really be using lots of tiny words where a big one would do, but still. Or bump the count up by having whoever uses the big words have to explain what they mean every time. Hmm...

ANYWAY. That plan may still hold, but I still need something to write *about*. So, I thinks to myself, I have a very creative bunch of weirdos lovely people on my FList, why not ask them? A 'who's line is it anyway' sort of improv novel.
Hey, it could work!
Your mission (if you chose to accept it) is to fire words, phrases or whatever the hell you like at me and I will hopefully somehow manage to turn them into something like a story. Note this will not be a masterpiece of deep thinking. It will, like last year, be ridiculous, badly-written, silly froth, cos that's easy and fun to write ;) Maybe this time I'll even get to the end.

At least it'll *probably* be that, who knows? Tis up to you!

Well most of them are on your flist too :p

The forums at the nano site are useful for picking up plot points and so on as well, going to trawl there tomorrow and see if any ideas jump out.

Hmm.. that's a good idea :P

I use OpenOffice for my word processing, it's mostly usable. You could give that a go if you wanted to use something more than Notepad. :)

Could be worth a shot ;) He did say he'd send me over a cd but he doesn't even start work over there til the end of october, and what with the whole new life thing going on, he might be a bit pre-occupied.

I'd help, but I need to conserve any ideas I find for my own effort! (I have no ideas, yet again :( )

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling don't worry. I can't come up with anything so far at all.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Give some of them to me! I am bereft of ideas. Or at least any that seem even vaguely original.

And no stealing my idea right?

I intend to have a character with a really bad stutter which should pad out most conversations to a few hundred words

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I won't (despite the fact that most of your idea was my idea anyway. Except for the lizards)

Cunning plan with the stutter tho!
