Hearts on Fire

[Poll #1272796]
I've been thinking about my efforts in previous years - how I never managed to finish the damn novels, but also of how I always took them slightly too seriously ("once I'm finished, I'll re-edit this, and then I'll get published and make millions just like J.K. Rowlings.") This year I've decided to take the exercise completely lightly and just write pure nonsense for my own amusement.

I'm thinking of a mesh up between Dallas/Dynasty/Horrible People and the goth scene in London. Bitches. Studs. Fight for Power. Social Climbers. Back Stabbers. Drug Abuse. Drama. Punch Ups. Money. Love. Alliances. Betrayals. Marriages. Illegitimate Children. And, of course, a whole lot of BLACK! And I.T. support.

Although I'm a goth admirer, I know very little about the make up, the corsets, the footwear, the scene, etc.

Studs? In the real life goth scene?

Oh, you are writing fiction.

It's funny that you should mention it - I was just discussing the possibility of tackling NaNo this year. I don't have any real obligations to consider and so we might actually be able to finish it.

It's important to have a small group of friends to nag help encourage you. :D

I think I'm going to try NaNoWriMo this year- knowing my luck it'll end up as horribly angsty chick-lit lite.

Feel free to pump me for my gothic knowledge.
