Date: 2012-10-27 01:39 pm (UTC)I found out about Nano about three years ago. Two years ago I actually contemplated doing Nano because I was between jobs but I didn't get further than having an idea and then I found a job as a pizza delivery girl and didn't have the time.
And last year I definitely didn't have the time as I worked fulltime and I found that making graphics was a more rewarding hobby for me than writing. But this year I'm only working halftime and even more importantly with the Glee fandom I found a playground in which I actually love to write. Before that, writing was a chore which I sometimes did to get the ideas out of my head but never really enjoyed because I couldn't 'picture' the characters, they didn't talk to me like they do now.
So I've decided that before I never get to write down those ideas, I'd rather cheat a bit and write fanfiction AU. That way, I don't have to invent the characters, they're already there and I can just put them in the surroundings of 'my' world.
Which means that basically, the story I'll attempt to write in November is the same one I was thinking about writing two years ago, an historical romance in which the main characters are gay. Because I love historical romances and there actually are some that have gay characters, but they never explore this in detail. So I'm gonna do that. :)
I'm excited to be a part of this community and I'm especially looking forward to the sprints.
