A little help with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), please?


I’m trying to write a novel for NaNoWriMo, and I think I’m on the right track in terms of characters, literary devices, etc. The one little problem is that I cannot come up with a ****?d enough plot.

The basic storyline revolves around a girl who ***?ems to feel her dead brother’s presence all around her. Her mother is developing Alzheimer’s, and she has a younger sibling. She knows that her physical and mental condition is ****?idly deteriorating (due to what: I don’t know yet), so, ***? the only able ***?rson in her whole ***?mily, she ****?ts to record a sort of account of her ***?mily history, her life, since she does not ****?t to be forgotten in the ***?ture etc. ***? ***?me passes, her ability to write becomes worse (like in “Flowers for Algernon”), and she needs to be taken care of constantly. Her younger sibling takes over her role ***? the “recorder of anecdotes”.

–This is the point at which I’m completely lost. Maybe before, I don’t know. If anyone has any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to voice them!

What are some good magazines to publish short stories in?


I’ve written a few short stories, I want to know what kind of magazines I can get them published in. I don’t really care if they offer payment although that would be a bonus.
not anecdotes.
