I need some inspiration for National Novel Writing Month. I thought maybe a list like this would help me write.

  • character-based fiction
  • characters I love, hate, and/or fear
  • fascinating personalities and backstories
  • complicated relationships
  • suspense, tension, excitement
  • roller-coaster stories
  • when "this can't get any worse" does
  • flawed characters
  • asexual women
  • unexpected surprises - present and past
  • strong and intense emotions
  • characters who clash with each other
  • differences made clear
  • conflict! a lot of conflict!
  • ...and even more conflict

All of these are things I really want to write. Now all I need to do is write them.
