Oh goodie! I want to read a long book some time in March, so I'll probably be blogging about it. If I even blog. XD

Congratulations! Now to figure out how to actually do this next month? I forgot about it because no one replied. XD

I challenge you all to read one book in February... and then blog about the experience.

My book will probably be long. And old. ^_^

Are you READY? What have you been doing to GET ready?

NaNo is coming up soon... in 26... 25... 24... 3... 2... 1 days!

How excited are you?

(I personally have been planning off and on since September, and I'm no where near ready. ^_^ And super excited.)

Hmmm.... well, I always have a romance or two going on in my novels-- I find that one or two of my characters drift into a romance whether or not I want them to, and let's be honest-- romance is interesting. But it's never more than a PG-13 rating, because I'm simply not comfortable with going up any higher.

I tend to create it in my own world-- either one based on RL or a completely different one. Sometimes there is magic, sometimes I have a mad villain with nice inventing powers.

Then I also like kooky, crazy characters, or stereotypical characters carried to a larger point (hysterical princess, by which I mean bursting into tears at the slightest provocation-- I got bored of that, though, and just made her really decisive sometimes). And generally there's smart comebacks and such.

And sometimes there's a quest. Like revenge on some idiot fiancé, or fighting to find a resurrection spell, or getting back home.

I hate it when I'm asked for a genre because I have no idea what it IS, usually, but maybe that will suffice for a cursory explanation as to what I generally write.

Aw, that's too bad.

So... what are the classics you love, and how are you going to incorporate them into your novel, if at all?

(and if you're not... tsk. XD)
