I have been considering the the book I want to write in November. I have a general idea, but had been sort of mentally 'floating'. Do I want to work on something completely different? I had a general idea for a crime type novel, but as much as I love fiction, especially science fiction, I started contemplating that some.
Hmm. A cat. And kids. And an alien.
No wait, the cat is an alien!
Okay, some would argue that isn't sci-fi, but I digress...
I kept kicking this idea around, and realized it would make a really... Not so great book. It was too visual. It kept tickling the back of my mind, however, and then I realized, the way I was thinking about it, was a comic.
It's not a book, it is a visual story. I will probably draw up something, and see if I can make it work. However, since one (or possibly more) of the characters communicates visually, not verbally, per se, I think frames well outweigh paragraphs in this case.
But I still want to write during November...
Just...
Not this.
So, I will have to do some mock ups, and see how it goes!

I have great admiration for someone that writes a book. I tried to write a book about 10 years ago but between the research and the process of making it come together...I just couldn't make it into the story I had floating in my brain. For me it turned out much more difficult than I thought is was going to be.
You thinking of doing NANOWRIMO? Been there, done that, twice. It can be addicting. :)
Nice to hear you are preparing well ahead. I pretty much just jumped in feet first, I do not recommend it. LOL!
I hope an idea takes root and pushes you in the direction you want to go.
It sounds intriguing! There is a story about cats being aliens, it's a young teen book i remember reading years ago, Star Kaat, or something like that.
