And some hangers-on have dubbed it National Solo Album Month. I&#8217;m participating in neither.<br \/>\nShinkyoku moratorium is still in effect, and I really don&#8217;t want to do any more recording until the current batch in progress gets a bit more finished. As for NaNoWriMo &#8212; I&#8217;ve got a lot of plot lines floating in my head but nothing clear enough to fashion into a narrative.<br \/>\nAnd honestly &#8212; I don&#8217;t want to shop around the only novel I&#8217;ve finished, when I can&#8217;t even demonstrate to myself I can finish a second one.<br \/>\nThat doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m not floating ideas in my head.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAs far as future music projects go, there&#8217;s an album of music written on guitar I want to finish. It may not be a full album given my limited guitar-playing abilities, but I do want to give it a shot.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve also been listening to a number of albums with continuous music &#8212; Sigur Ros, <i>Takk<\/i>, &#8220;A Sky of Honey&#8221; from Kate Bush&#8217;s <i>Aerial<\/i> and Madonna&#8217;s <i>Confessions on a Dance Floor<\/i>. I&#8217;ve already toyed with segues on both <i>Imprint<\/i> and <i>Restraint<\/i>. I think I want to record an album of continuous music of some sort. Don&#8217;t know if that means a thoroughly-composed piece.<br \/>\nMy literary fiction universe has been honed a bit.<br \/>\nRight now, I&#8217;m focusing on a few plots of mentioned many times before on this site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Mitch Warren wants to adopt, but Gary Huang doesn&#8217;t. When Mitch&#8217;s sister dies in a car accident, his nephew moves in.\n<li> Crash&#8217;s ex-boyfriend is murdered, and Crash conducts his own investigation into the death.\n<li> A 40-ish man (haven&#8217;t settled on a name) agrees to pose nude for a photographer, who promises to hook him up with one of her other nude male models, named Rich. Rich helps the man explore his sexuality. Sounds like a dull premise, which it is, but the devil is in the explicit details.\n<\/ul>\n<p>If I were to participate in a future NaNoWriMo, I&#8217;d probably use one of those premises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November is National Novel Writing Month.
