OT: Ooph! Panic Attack...

I've been down lately and it seems everything is a reason to beat myself up. One among many things is the realization that I've been talking about writing a novel for over 10 years now. In a fit of ... I don't know what motivated me ,,, I signed up for this year's National November Writer's Month (NaNoWriMo) contest. Between November 1 and November 30, we each commit to writing a novel of 50,000 words. It need not be a GOOD novel, but it must be written. And now I'm having a panic attack.

Aaaaaaiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee! What was I thinking????

Good for you! This will moticate you! I too have two or three novels in my head that I'd love to put down on paper... the concepts are great.... I am just not a literary person. What a Inned is to tell the story to someone and have them write the novel!

You just have to decide what.

A piece of advice that the late Marion Zimmer Bradley used to give aspiring writers: the only way to success is to put the seat of the pants onto the seat of the typewriting chair.

Good luck!

Cat Detectives are very good seller,you just have to think of something that hasnt been done.
How about a Pet Squad,with a Cat,Dog,Bird Hmaster,Monkey,Horse each contributing thier strengths to solve crimes.
Inspired a bit by the Freddy the Pig stories of my youth.
Or a girl,that can become a Cat.
Or can communicate with All Cats,like Aquaman does with his Finny Pals.
A Found Cat Hotel Novel,you could have the rights,free.
