The baseball playoffs are over for the Orioles, so I get to
reclaim the evenings I spent in front of the TV. It was a great run, watching
the team duke it out for AL East title, then lose a tough series to the
Yankees. While I’m sure I’ll still put on some playoff games here and there, I’m
getting a swath of time back.
November is around the corner. I’ll be putting that time
to good use.
I’m still editing a previous work (baseball distracted
me) and I need to figure out what I’m going to do for NaNoWriMo once November
is here. I have a few ideas to kick around and flesh out. It’s always good to
have choices, right?
Right?
Here’s the problem: I can (and almost always do) read
multiple books at a time without a problem. I’m positive I can’t do that with
writing. One of these ideas has to emerge as the best. Do I continue with the
same character in the mystery series I favor? Do I go back to my
world-traveling secret agent and chronicle his third grand adventure? Do I
develop the YA idea that I had and try a genre I’ve never written and have only
infrequently read? (Does the Harry Potter series count as YA?)
November looms, and a decision looms. But this is a good
problem to have. Right?
(For the record, I think it is a good problem to have. And if the Orioles were still playing and complicating my writing schedule, that would be a good problem, too.)

Happy writing.
Funny I was just at the Con and Harry Potter is defined as YA, but technically it starts as Middle Grade because of his age *mind boggling* Personally I'd go with Youthful Urban Fantasy, or something or other. *grins*
ReplyDeleteI too have been in the place where I was looking into November with multiple idea in my head. thankfully once Novemeber arrived they basically settled things amoung themselves and told m e which one I was to write. (It ptobably helped that everyone in my head wanted to squish the vilest villian I've created to date.) *grins*
(I know so helpful)
