Hey howdy hey!

I'm Hanne. I'm 21, and from Norway, which means that NaNo for me, starts in about three and a half hours.

For weeks now I've had my plot perfectly planned out. I know appromately what is to happen in each chapter, from start to finish, and I've been happy with that. Why wouldn't I be? It felt as though it was going to go along swimmingly because of all of this.

That was until about an hour ago, when a new idea suddenly smacked me in the face like a bag of bricks, and now I'm not sure. Especially since for this new idea all I have is a premise, and what my two main male characters look like (since it was a picture of two actors standing together that brought it to me)

I'm not sure what to do now. To ditch the first idea and try for the second, or save the second for later...

The 'Buttoned Down Mind' strikes back!

Start the new idea, of course, and when you hiccup, merge it into the other story.

I can't merge them, sadly.

The new fic is with completely different characters in a completely different setting. Ugh ugh ugh.

I really do want to start the new one, but I have like...nothing. It worries me. D:

Try thinking outside the box. Take your characters to a play/movie/renaissance day event where the outlined plot is the substance. Turn it into a dream/nightmare, parallel universe tied together by whatever thin thread of commonality you can dream up...

That sounds awesome. Well, go with whichever you're feeling passionate about. If this new idea calls to you, go for it. Don't feel like it has to be a finished book. You could just follow it along for 50k and see what happens. If it fizzles, you have a great back up.
