October Novel Prep Challenge

I am so ready! After a year and a half struggling with creativity in general, I’m excited to get back into writing!

I debated for a bit on which story I would work on this year. I think. I may use the idea I got two years ago from my local NaNoWriMo group. For one activity, we drew titles and/or characters from movies/shows, books, etc., from a couple of baskets to use as a prompt—like how some books are described as Title x Title (and I assume the x stands for “meets”).

I drew Supernatural and Percy Jackson.

Supernatural x Percy Jackson.

I love it.

But I’ve been struggling to come up with a plot. I’ve brainstormed lists of what Percy Jackson and Supernatural each have. It only kinda helps. I know I want at least two characters, more likely three. For some reason, one of them is a young woman named Millie. I don’t know why she’s called Millie. I’ve only heard that name in historical fiction, and it’s honestly not one of my favorites, either.

“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.” ― Ray Bradbury
