As of now, my story's about an encypted document that is the "answer key" to the pyramids. For the sake of the story, the pyramids are time capsules put there by an ancient race intended as "brain-teasers" or puzzles if you will. It's actually a common theory...
The story is intended to be a archeaological page-turner...don't know much more than that. And it could change.

I have a main character, but I'm having trouble getting anywhere past that.

Weird... I had the idea for a diary as well. It just made sense because that way you sort of force yourself to write everyday and can just be looking at the 1,700 word limit for the day as opposed to 50,000
My though is the diary of a drunk who is in hospital.

Crazy: I've got an entry that's more or less planned to look like that.
Midlandsmuse: I'm not sure if we'll be presenting things the same way, as I intend to have some degree of narrative bits, interjections from other writers, etc... not sure how well it'll all flow... but it should work out ok.

Last year, I had outlined my entire story until every detail seemed to be covered. But it was unbelievably boring to write because there was only the writing itself, no plotting or creating characters or anything.
So I started again the second week of November with an entirely new story without any outlining. But I did reach 51 360 words (or somthing close to that) three days before the end of NaNoWriMo.
Conclusion: I will not waste October on outlining. I'll just write.
(My Nanowrimo-plot was worthless last year but I had much fun and I learned alot too).

I'd love to make some dirty comment here, but sadly, I am a Nano virgin as well.
Next year, perhaps.
