Uncomfortable plot summaries
The premise: Take the plot of a movie, book or TV show and reword it to totally misrepresent the original work. This is similar to the idea of trailer recuts I posted a while back.
The results: Hilarity. Be sure to read the comments as well. While a lot of the people seem to be missing the point, there are some gems buried in the comments.
As for my own untitled work: Boy moves to a magical underwater city, becomes a great leader, lives forever.

This month is NaNoWriMo and I haven’t written more than a couple of words in my existing (and languishing) novel. Which is all of 9 pages long so far. I did manage to write an entire three paragraphs in a single sitting in late October. Hardly impressive but those three paragraphs represent the only real progress on it in about a year.
Not that I’m participating in NaNoWriMo — and it would be cheating to start with my existing material anyway — but I would like to start making progress again. I just need to find a way to focus on it. Installing Q10 seemed to help some, but I think this is just going to be one of those force-of-sheer-will things.
