Good, good. Just lazing around, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. BTW, what exactly is NaNo? I've been hearing about it a lot. NaNo is short of NaNoWriMo, which is short for Nation Novel Writing Month. XD It's en event of sorts where yoy try to write a 50k word novel duringt the course of a month - November. The objective is to get out your ideas without worrying so much about quality and editing. www.nanowrimo.org Oh, cool! Sounds like fun... Too bad I joined too late to hear about it.

You can still participate. Last year I went in with a vague idea and still finished. It's not as hard as I thought it'd be last year. Which is why I'm upping the ante this year. ^_^

Aww, yeah... but there's always next year! =3 Or even unofficial NaNoing! Actually I don't know, the signups might still be open. But I imagine you probably wouldn't want to jump in without any sort of planning at all. ^^;

I have no idea how I'll start. XD I just have a very vague plot idea and a couple of possible-scences in mind. It'll be so much fun to improvise tomorrow! ^_^ I know the beginning scene and the ending scene, and have vague ideas for scenes in the middle, as well as a plot that sort of peters out near the end as far as specifics go. I figure it'll work well. Of course, the vague ideas for the middle happen to mess with my mind, so.. yeah. Sounds good, though. ^_^ Good luck!

The sheer amount of thought I've put into this surprises me. And I got the last piece of the puzzle that is the plot yesterday. ^_^ ..finally. I finally get to have a character named Lucifer. I'm far too happy about that.

I have tons of ideas.... No plot, though, no characters. I don't think I'd want to go in there with absolutely nothing... ^^'

It could've waited a bit and still worked, since the character/plot piece in question isn't needed for the first day or two of writing. Then he might get involved a little.

Only recently have I begun to plan stories. So.. yeah. You could find an old, abandoned story and reuse parts of it. That's what I did last year.

I'll probably read it again sometime soonish, since I put it on hold again. It's not the best book on writing ever, but it is fun and NaNo-centric.

I know one that just might work.
