Life is crazy busy, so this will be a short post.
The Insecure Writers’s Support Group question for November 2023 is:
November is National Novel Writing Month. Have you ever participated? If not, why not?
Yes I have! This will be my eleventh year, and this year I am switching things up by attempting fifty (50!) flash fictions in the month of November. To aid that quest, I created a simple prompt generator which you can play with here. It produces random combinations of subject, setting and genre. Here are some examples:
Subject: Espionage, Empire
Setting: Virtual Reality
Genre: Horror
Subject: Revenge, Environment
Setting: Outpost
Genre: Western
Subject: Precursors, Dreams
Setting: Boardroom
Genre: Cyberpunk
The only rule I am holding myself to is that when I generate a prompt, I have to use that prompt. Generating prompts until I find one I like is not allowed.
My user name on nanowrimo.org is JohnFromGR, so feel free to send me a buddy request.
Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone!
