NaNoWriMo

[ghost2]

Like some of you, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year. My account is here. (ETA: I forgot to say before, writing buddies are welcome!)

First I thought I'd write a vampire novel. The Twilight series vastly amuses me and I was going to do a shorter vampire story earlier this year. Never got around to it.

OTOH, while watching the Breeders' Cup yesterday, I got to thinking. Horse racing is my favorite sport and I'd enjoy writing about it.

So now I'm torn. I'd enjoy either subject, and combining them doesn't make much sense (horse-racing vampires?!?). Maybe I should flip a coin.

You could do vampire horses, instead.

True, and that could be really creepy. I have a few days to decide so I'll be putting some more thought into this decision.

I agree. Vampire horses could be awesomely creepy.

Maybe I could do something with that idea. Hmmm. It reminds me that I recently received a horse catalog in the mail, and one of the items being sold was a photo of a racehorse attempting to bite a competitor in deep stretch of a race. I found that picture online (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm102/closer73/savages_on_the_stretch.jpg). Now I'm getting ideas from it.

Heh. It's funny -- when I first saw this post and it had no replies, I wanted to say, "If you don't want to write horse-racing vampires, you could write vampiric racehorses." Then I decided that would be smart-ass and didn't post. Glad to see someone else did, though. ;-)

I'm glad, too. I have a tentative title, and my plot is now taking shape.
