Making plans for SoCNoC yet? Got a few ideas you are floating around?
Part of me is thinking it's such a long way off, but the realistic part is going - hey it's really not.
For those of us doing Script Frenzy during April we really only have May to get our idea formulated and whatever research done that needs doing.
If all goes well and I get back on track with things I'm thinking that I might try an actual Romance this time around, or Horror - horror/romance? lol
What is everyone else thinking of?

I always thought that I would have one novel edited and be able to start on the next one in SoCNoC. BUT these plans have been hijacked since I have to rewrite the novel first and will mean I likely won't have the editing complete by June.

I was going to write a NZ based romance between a young NZ woman trying to find her passion in life and a Scottish divorcee trying to recover his life without his wife.

No nothing planned yet, trying to get in the swing of my new job, have two exhibitions to put on by June, then close for the winter. Although another project on the way during winter, but basically most of June off.
Need to sort out my stuff too Kerryn, maybe leave it for 'The End is Nigh.'
I'm usually a sit down, hands on keys and let it go type, so have no idea as yet. :)

I'm looking forward to The End is Nigh as well Gaye-belle!! Roll on August, lol will be getting close to the last month I'll have much time to do anything I think. Oh man, I'll probably have to pass on Nano this year, I just realized :-( For a good cause tho! lol
I have been going through old CD's today making sure everything I wanted off them was saved somewhere else and came across the beginning of a novel which I am now all keen to rewrite (the first version was written when I was 13 or so, it's a good story, but needs to be written by an adult really, and yay I am one now!). If I decide not to go horror/romance then it'll be back to the fantasy with me... So much to do, so little energy.

You are totally into your novellas these days Mr :-) I think it will work just fine. It's 50K of new stuff.

I got excited about SoCNoC, and then looked in my diary. My last exam isn't until the 17th, leaving me less than half a month to write 50,000 words. I just can't see that happening, so I'm going to have to pass on SoCNoC :(.
Good luck to all those that participate.

Redfox, you can always do 25k in June, usually someone posts a half a SoCNoC challenge.
