NaNoWriMoThis is going to be my first time attempting NaNo, and I’m hoping life will work with me, not against me!

The issue I face in the next week is to decide WHICH novel the bunnies are going to have me write. The two front running choices, while both RS (Romantic Suspense) are vary different in plot and features. The one I am leaning towards is an RS with a paranormal twist. It would be the 1st book in a potential 3 book series involving a set group of heroes/heroines who are thrown together to preserve life as we know it.

I’ve been fighting with this plot for about a year now, and the thought is… force myself to put it to paper (or computer) for NaNo then I’ll have no excuses as to why it’s not done! I already have all my characters and pairings down in a rough draft… there’s just the issue of figuring out which couple gets to tell their story first!

Anyone else out there taking the NaNo challenge this year? If so, add me to your NaNo buddies list, and I’ll see you on the other side when we emerge into the sunlight screaming that the light is too bright! ^_^
