na... shostowrimo?

So... I started working on a short story. Sort of. Earlier this week Sandy IMed me and we were chatting about this nanowrimo thing, national novel writing month. She said she's gonna do it and was trying to get me interested. I really had no idea what I'd write a novel about. "I like goats" was the first thing that came to my mind. Very inspirational.

However, the other night I got an idea for a short story. I guess I could make it into a poem or something, but I think it would be fun and a good brain-stretch to write something more substantial. It will hopefully turn into a short story, though it'd be cool if I could really write a novel!

The idea is in extreme-rough-draft mode at the moment. A.k.a. I know sort of how it ends, but not how it begins or any of the middle! Earlier I started brainstorming some stuff to give it a more substantial plot.

I don't wanna say more, 'cause it would give too much away!!! But the working title is "The Hounds," and it was inspired by an emotional experience I had a few nights ago.
