... Oh man, yeah, maybe you should.

What's your story about this year? Genre/themes/characters?

Child development sites raided, timeline hammered out (starting at one year old and progressing to 13), and I even got notes on what to feed a baby and when since I have zero experience at this whole child-rearing thing.

I'm writing fantasy again (I generally do that or science fiction). As per my usual, I have some very long lived magical characters wandering around with the average mortals. In this case the main character is now an old magical character and she's going to collect on a favour owed to her by an old friend. The friend pays up... with a baby. This is not what she expected to deal with in her declining years. :D

So the themes are pretty much as you would expect, growing old, growing up, and being very careful about asking and lending favours.

Ooh, that sounds neat. Also the idea of an old person raising a child, it's not something we see often. Innnnteresting. *_*

It should be interesting to write, since I have no experience raising kids and not a whole lot of experience with the elderly (I live 16 hours drive from my parents and only see them once a year). Granted, Bennu is pretty spry for an old person, so I'm hoping my middle-aged experience with "oh, that's going to hurt tomorrow" and assorted repetitive motion injuries will get me through. :D

And this is the first time I've tackled NaNo with a firm timeline of "story starts here, and ends there, and these are the places you need to stop along the way". Hopefully this means I'll have a finished story at the end and not 50k worth of something much larger.
