Okay, so I have a NaNoWriMo plan:

I have a song in mind, which I really like. It has eighteen distinct lines of lyrics.

My plan is to write seventeen individual stories, using each of the lines of the song as the titles of the stories. I have complete synopses for these stories all ready and waiting to be fleshed out.

The eighteenth - the last line of the song - will be the ambitious one. In that story, I will attempt - no, I certainly will knit together the other stories into one coherent and wonderfully schmaltzy and heartwarming finale.

That's the plan, anyway.

If I can make each story at least 3000 words, or five/six pages in MS Word, then I can easily reach and surpass the 50,000 word limit.

3000 words at 35-40 words per minute? Between 75 and 90 uninterrupted minutes every day, and I can be finished by the 20th.

I'm quite liking my odds there, y'know?

Everyone else ready?
