I don’t know if it’s the massive amounts of books that I’ve read this year and the joy of finishing both the Goodreads reading challenge and NaNoWriMo at a time where I didn’t really have time for any of the two, but I don’t think I’ve ever had this amount of usable ideas at once before.

My NaNo novel for this year is progressing smoothly, although it keeps surprising me. And now I’ve gotten a brand new idea for my NaNo novel from 2010 which I at the moment think is perfect. As it happens it will cause 95% of the novel to be changed, but at this point I don’t care. The plot felt boring before, it felt forced, and I didn’t really connect with it. This one… this one will give me plenty to write about, and contrary to the first draft it feels… fresh, in a way. Completely different from what I usually write, but with all the elements that I wanted when I started writing the story.

Now I just have to finish the first draft of the novel I’m working on so that I can start working on this idea.
