The Shape of Today

Oh, shiny!

While ambling around at work with a cartful of books to be shelved this week, I was ambushed by my inner writer. She reminded me of the "Atlantis Project" (which I had half-forgotten), and said that would be an excellent project for NaNoWriMo.

And it probably would, once I have more than the barest-of-bones idea that I have now (in my story Atlantis is real, mysterious, and unconquerable). Judging by what I see at work, a series based on this idea would be a hit with the YA crowd, who are voracious and deadly serious readers.

Of course, my inner killjoy got into the act immediately, arguing that I'd already begun fleshing out one NaNoWriMo project, to start another now was putting too much on my plate. But I'm thinking I might just table Shattered Echoes for this year and go with the Atlantis project. After all, it won't go anywhere and I'll have something to build on for next year's project. Truth be told, I'm not comfortable starting that one yet until I finish those holes I mentioned in the last post.

So. Time to get brainstorming.
