At the moment, I'm up to about 9.3K worth of words and I have absolutely no idea where the plot is going. I probably wasted a lot of time today sleeping and eating regular meals and going on bathroom breaks and surfing on the internet for inspiration. I probably wasted more time staring at the screen not knowing what to type. That's the bane of writing a novel without any sort of plan.
What I have so far: my main character is the Eater of Souls (from Egyptian mythology) and she's going on a cruise. Her companion is a neurotic cat with an obsession for shiny objects and her love interest is a surly folklorist who's on an enforced vacation. I'm definitely going to fit some pirates into the plot somehow. Currently, I'm contemplating ninjas as well. You can obviously tell that I'm getting desperate.
