Why, brain, why?

So I think I've failed Nano. The thing where I haven't touched it in two weeks might have been my first clue. "I can just write this because I don't care about it," will eventually flounder upon the reefs of not caring. There's one subplot I quite like and could theoretically be hacked out in a novella, some day, so that's something.

Instead, i'm back to trying to write that short story that's been bouncing around my head for years, combining vampire romance with the mass rape of the Eastern Front. Happy thought. Yay.

I'm just over 30K. This is the pantsy-est of pantsed NaNo novels that I ever pantsed, and now I'm floundering. I'm down to asking random people "Give me a plot point!" and sticking it in there like mismatched Lego bricks.

It's fun, though, when I'm not gnashing teeth and pulling my own hair.
