You're just coming in with all the right things for me at the moment ;) I was just thinking today when I was walking the dog, that there will be fire in my novel, because what's a breakdown of society without a good blaze?
On a more personal level, it's occurred to me that I've still a good way to go to having confidence in my own ability to write anything. I get to a point where I'm feeling good about how I write, and then somewhere I'll doubt myself, and then it's a hard slog back (over hot coals) to get to the point where I feel happy about my writing again. I think the regular Idol insecurities don't help, but I think NaNo kind of compounds it, because I'm writing all this rubbish which I know I can't yet edit, and I feel so inept. It's a real struggle to keep it moving.
Wow, obviously picture prompts in your journal really get me to open up, don't they? I should have put this all in my novel...
