The Dragon Keeper

 And I still have a very small skeleton of a story. I don't even have characters anymore. Tell me, how could I have started out in September with a full plot, characters, research, and the beginning work of an outline to having a basic plot and nothing else? How could I have backtracked so far?

I admit, it's stressing me out because I never started a WriMo with this little before, but I'm also excited about the tiny idea I do have. The first was becoming too much for me, so I scrapped it and decided to start over. I think it's going to be a matter of writing blindly and seeing what happens to pop out in the process. I'm really hoping of finding some jewels in the amount of crud I know most of it is going to be. Even if it's just one bloody idea or character, I'll be happy.

All in all, I'm stressed but excited. It'll be interesting to see the end result. 

In other news, I don't have the stuff I usually have with me when NaNo starts. I have a feeling I'll be waiting in line at Walmart with the Halloween crowd, hours before midnight, my cart full of the crap I need. But that's all right. It can't be NaNo without my nifty gloves or inspiration candles!
