Writing Prompt
NaNo what? If you missed Carly's post about National Novel Writing Month, then you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. But for all you writers out there (and I know you guys are amazing writers. I've seen your fanfic on the Message Boards!), the goal for NaNoWriMo is to write a novel by the end of November. I have no doubt you can do it. After all, it can be as long or as short as you want! So here are a few suggestions from the NaNoWriMo Young Writers website to get you started. . .
- Write a story where the character's meal talks to him or her.
- Write a story where the character has a camera that can take pictures of the future.
- Write a story where the character has a cute little brain-eating zombie kitten as a pet.
- Write a story about an unusual afterschool club.
Do you have other ideas for great stories? Tell us in the Comments! What will YOUR next story be about?

I'm already a NaNo user. =) It's not too hard, you just have to concentrate. These are pretty good prompts though. :D
Luck to anyone else who's trying this!

I started 4 days ago. My dad's also doing it, but he's going for 50,000 words, and I'm going for 3,600 cause there's so little time left! :)
