Nano or not
Nano's starting again soon. Although they haven't wiped the database yet.
I've tried this every year since 2007, with mixed success (lose, win, win, lose, lose, win, lose). Last couple of times it was kinda stressful though and I didn't really have a lot of fun. I also have absolutely no idea what I want to do this time. I have no stories that I'm desperate to tell.
Don't seem to be doing a lot of creative stuff recently. Maybe I should do this just to give my imagination a bit of a kickstart.
But what should I write? Should I perhaps have a stab at the backwards story (Memento, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind style)? Should I use TVTropes random story generator? Should I just not bother? It was a lot more fun when I had a local community to exchange ideas with. Seems a shame to break my perfect run of attempts, and an attempt with the intention of failing is cheating. If I do that I might as well not bother at all.

no subject
I am always tempted by NaNoWriMo, but I get better audience numbers / validation out of fanfic exchanges, and I have a work conference at the start of Nov which would probably write off this one (even if I wasn't meant to be doing all kinds of Empire wrangling this winter).
