NANOWRIMO

So I'm considering starting a Nano this year, mainly because my child would like me to. Said child is also Nanoing. There are worse reasons, I suppose. I happen to start November with a few days off, so maybe I can get a head start on the word count? Problem is, I have no ideas. None. So that's the first step, I guess. I need to spend today coming up with something, and trying to get some words written, maybe a character sketch or something. I see I wrote in February about my Blue Sky project. I am ashamed (but not surprised) to say I haven't gotten anywhere on that. Why can't I use my incredibly productive husband as a muse? He is an author/illustrator, and works incredibly hard at it. When I have a day off, I will clean, and run errands and get stuff done, but it feels like I am doing that to avoid the actual work - finding a new direction, or passion. I have pretty much no hobbies. That seems weird. I run, read, and listen to audiobooks, but those aren't really hobbies, per se. I feel like I need a richer personal life to infuse and improve my writing.
