Normally this is the point of the year where I humblebrag about outlining and plotting and prepping for NaNoWriMo. It's become something of a thing.
This year? Nothing. I really have nothing at all. The muse? She is silent.
I have no outline, no notes, no cards. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I'm fully and squarely in the Pantser Club this November for the first time ever. Even my inaugural year way back in 2007 had a loose outline cobbled together on Halloween night. Never mind that I rapidly diverged from it and wound up skipping whole sections when I got stuck. I'm older and wiser now.
Older, anyway.
The forums are reset, the Typewriter Brigade rises again...
...and I've got a set of "Rory's Story Cubes" that my kids gave me some years back to provide impromptu inspiration.
This could go well, this could go horribly, but I need a little crash of rhinos this year (or a crash of little rhinos.) Who's in?

Ha! I was looking for my set of Rory's Story Cubes today, too. Who knows, it might work.
One never knows what may come forth from the story cubes as they are tossed and read and tossed and read and tossed and a completed NaNoWriMo 2014
Story cubes! interesting idea, however I'm not exactly lacking inspiration - just time.
