Panic!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the deal. I've spent every spare moment (almost, okay not even, but I've tried) casting about for a plot for NANOWRIMO which started two hours and twenty minutes ago and guess what? NO PLOT!!!! I am desperate here, people. I have less than thirty days to write 50,000 hopefully coherent words and I have NOTHING. My damn muse has gone on vacation and nothing is happening. Can we all say, nervous breakdown?

I know I can do this, if only I can come up with a plot. I write 20,000 word fanfiction in a weekend. HELP!!!! Does anyone have a spare muse lying around, if so send it my way, FEDEX!

Okay here's a few first lines. Take one and just start writing off of it and see what happens. Not the muse genuis...but best I could do on short notice :)

It was part of a story, a tale. It was beautiful and sad. I remember how it all began.

or

"And rain is God crying. I don't believe it. It's a load of bs and you know it." Andy slammed out the door, leaving Beth crying behind him.

or

She stared at the house for a moment. It was a dream...but also a nightmare. After years she was finally back here.

Don't know if it'll help you any. I'm sending good vibes your way. I could give you an idea I once had...I never did anything with it because it was much more an 'adult' story and I just don't write em well. I'm stuck in children's writing. At least I didn't think I could write it. But I can give you the basic outline. I think you could do a good job with it. Email me.

But I think I'll work in this: 'She stared at the house for a moment. It was a dream...but also a nightmare. After years she was finally back here.'

It will be in a slightly different form though.
Thank you for the vibes. Now I have to go do the housework thing so folks will leave me alone later.
