Plot plot plot plot plot !!!!!

It is not coming.

. . .

SoCNoC is a little over a week away and have no plot. I shant worry as I only had plot and characters for Nano I think four days in adcance last time. Hmmm... And now I just got hit with the urge to do that sequel I'd been planning to do for 'Silver and Amber'. I think there is potential in that. Definitely potential. I'd like to write about Wynne, the big sister of my other S&A main-character, Leyn. She's interesting and I love her to pieces. Just such a tragic character.

And I think I could always just edit S&A. But then maybe not. I don't know.

I think I'll need just to sit down, rifle through my ideas in my head and then maybe I can decide which to do. There is a seedling of a plot growing in my mind with lot's of Finnish folklore embedded into it and dealing with a female heroine and the magic of words. It's an aspect of the Finnish folk belief system I was most intrigued with when we discussed it in a reading seminar last fall. It's a very lovely idea but I won't have the time to do proper research for it anymore. So maybe for Nano?

And as for NaNoManGo I'll be either doing the uraban fantasy thing I had lined up last year but which was run over by <a href="http://smudges.smackjeeves.com/">Smudges</a>, I think I called it 'The Heart of Elyrion'? Or something as cliché... No, wait, HoE was another story entirely, it was Avarice something... 'The Heart of Avarice'? Or was it 'Tear of Avarice'? (That just sounds bonkers...) Anyway, I have that and if all else fails I'll just do the next <a href="http://beforedawn.comicgenesis.com">BD chapter.</a> I think it might be chapter 10. Or then do that one which I already got the idea for over 6 years ago. I'd get to draw graveyards with that one. Hmm... Too many ideas, so little time.

But now I'll go and brush my teeth and dive into my interviews and analyze them like no tomorrow.^^ (Man I love academics sometimes!)
