I didn’t even realize NaNo was coming this year. The thought of trying it makes me feel all woozy.

But I’ll volunteer some Plot Complications for those who are participating:

1. Someone has parked in your protagonist’s driveway!
2. Your protagonist’s mother may have Alzheimer!
3. The senator killed himself with auto-erotic asphyxiation!
4. There has been an outbreak of ptomaine poisoning!
5. Chickens! With guns!
6. It’s Christmastime and Wiis are still not available!
7. Zombies!
8. Zombie chickens!
9. Someone has a mysterious rash!
10. Your protagonist becomes a best-selling, wealthy, famous POET!
