So, I really want to do Nanowrimo this year and win! I don't even really care if all I write is crap, I just want to get my 50,000 words written in November this year since I gave up last year about halfway through (I wrote just over 22,000 words).
So today I was surfing the nanowrimo website's FAQ section when I noticed that they strongly encourage the writers to use an outline for their novel. So I figured, during October I'll write myself an outline so that I'd be more prepared than I was last year.
The only problem is, I don't know what to write about. This is the worst possible time to get writer's block, I feel like I don't have a creative bone in my body right now. I know that I don't want to write about vampires (tried that last year) and I don't want to try to write my own life story (tried that last year as well). Other than that, I haven't got a clue. I don't even know if I want to write fantasy or real life.
Hopefully something will come to me soon. Otherwise November is going to suck.

hmm you should write about things that are issues in your life like...you could write a story about a young women's journey entering marriage and stuff when the world ridicules her...or maybe a story about someone who struggles with suicide or self harm...i think its always easier to write about things you can speak of from experience

Orrrr.... you could right about someone else's life story - how she met the man of her dreams on a double date, only he was her friend's date... I don't think Grandma would mind :) They just celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Some things are built to last! Lots of material there for 50,000 words!
