NANOWRIMO project; helppp!!

*Waves at everyone*

Okay, here`s the deal: I want to start planning my Nanowrimo story early, just to make sure I have something to start writting once November comes. Thing is, I am totally lost plot wise. I have the basics of what I want to write, but no idea where to go with it. So, prompts are needed :D

Quote:
 

Genre of Story Angsty romance, since that is all I can write. Add some mystery in there, maybe?
Mood of prompt Angsty =P
General or Specific Prompt? Specific
If General - Give a briefing of the characters (male/female? old/young?)
If Specific - give the names of the characters and the situation they are going through: Still dont have the characters. A few males and a few females, I guess. But they are not yet planned, sorry :(
Anything else that might be helpful? Well, it is supposed to be a story about a roadtrip around Argentina (which is my current country of residence) made by a group of young adults (between 17-22 years old, I guess). Thing is, I tottally have no clue what they would go through, why they are taking the road trip, etc.


So, any ideas? Please? Thanks!

Cheers,
Enyu

Road trip reason -- A last hurrah before starting school. Could take place a few weeks before?

does that help?

Things that could happen -- on bikes, tires could blow out. They could lose their tents or other supplies and have to try and live off the land?

More to come as responses pop up!!

I like the idea about it being a trip before school starts. Perhaps college is about to begin and they will then all become seperated and want to take one last trip together.

Also like the idea of their things getting lost.

Thanks, Juls! I think that will actually help quite a bit :D

More comments are still appreciated :D

Cheers,
Enyu

what if one of them is going away to university and they're all taking him/her out there? Then you could have the whole dealing with "losing" one of their friends on the way back, you'd have the pressure of having to be (at the university) for a certain date, etc.

I'm going to admit that I wouldn't be much good at thinking of things that could happen, (mostly because everything I'd say would come from the story I'm about to mention) but if you want to have a look at a good road trip story, check out Highway Through Hell by luvcali76. It's a fanfic for That 70s Show, but if you scanned through, there may be something that sparked some inspiration.

Ooh, I just thought of something (original ... somewhat :P ). What if before they go, one of the guys (or girls) buys a used car and on the way there, they get stopped by the cops who have been tipped off about the vehicle, and they search it and find drugs which actually don't belong to the guy/girl who just bought it, but rather, the car's previous owner who had been waiting for the vehicle to get sold so he could tip off the cops ... :hajadeha: Okay, so it's a terrible idea, but when I write my Nano, I look for the most off the wall suggestions because usually, they require a very large amount of words.

I'm just oging to leave now :P
