So, your plot is finished and it's time to gather ideas for a new book. NaNoWriMo is getting closer and, of course, you decide that a series of seven is the way to go. And besides knowing that there are seven you have no friggin' idea of what the hell is gonna happen... and you don't just need one plot, you need seven!!!! There is no way in Hell to get seven plots in less than two months, so it's time to get the creative juices flowing or rather do a lot of beer (or berr, as you spell it after a couple of them) drinking and character summoning in the weirdests places you can imagine. Your days of sleeping siesta or reading a book in the toilet are over until December. You mention your idea to a small circle of friends hoping they don't steal it and come up with interesting twists for your story. You take your notebook and laptop everywhere and you find out just how many places have free wifi, you wake up with odd names and new characters having sneaked into your dreams.
We are at the point in which it's much easier to think of new ideas than to finish the one we are actually writing. We are slackers, I know, but since we can't be bothered to write, we just settle for a blog post.
