Me too. I don't even have a title yet. Just the vague idea my plot will be the adventures and mayhem of some teenage monsters created with dice rolls and tables of the pen&paper rulebook "Monsterhearts". Because sleep deprived me thought it would be cool to have some random characters thrown into the ring.
(Don't get me wrong, I actually love the main cast I created through this method. Especially the strings system will certainly be helpful in the way it already connects the characters to several others before the |
I have decided not to do any prep this year. I'm just gonna wing it completely.

unprepared? did you mean me, every year?? |
I had truly planned on getting a lot of plotting and planning done, but all my spare time went to MLing and organizing stuff. But I'm taking off tomorrow and Friday and will spend a great part of that time trying to sort out my novel. Fingers crossed I won't get side tracked with more MLing stuff. :P

Death - i don't think i've ever had a title when i started any of my writings!
Mekatra - yaay! a fellow pantser! also, i only have one character name - the main character. heh. |
Titles. Gack. Those are so hard!
I only have a mere premise and a little bit of information on my MC. Haven't even settled on her name for sure. XD |
i get titles one of a few ways:
*i just 'get' one *i have an idea, but i play with the thesaurus to get just the right words *i write a phrase that's just perfect for the title *other people give me one *other people give me an idea....and then i play with the thesaurus to get just the right words *i get one many moons after i've long since finished the story (such as the one i wrote in 2016 XD) |
LOL - You have a similar process to me.
I love it when there's a phrase that is perfect for the title. |
yep yep!

One year, the title came really easily for my novel. I was so excited by it that I purchased some artwork for the cover and wrote over 70K words that month on it. It just flowed. One day I really want to edit it enough to send off queries.

Well, I made my novel on the Nano page... We'll see how this goes.
|
Zen - that's kinda how my first year, "Love on Rye" went. it's my longest i've written - 65,000+ words. my older daughter made cover art for it too.
Mekatra- are you Mekatra on the NaNo site too? i'm trystan (without the 830), and the link is in my sig. =) |
That's really cool, Trys.
|
thanks, Zen!

Actually on Nano I'm SiggyAsgardust :)
