NaNoWriMo: Where it all begins

It's November 1st, and I actually finished 1700 words before noon. I'm pretty happy with that. The afternoon is going to be devoted to school, but before I start on that, here is a quick NaNo post. I'm not going to do a homeschool post today (as mentioned in yesterday's post), but I'll cover this week in next week's post.

As I mentioned a while ago, I have this game called The Storymatic. It's a lot of fun, and I've even used it with my writing sometimes. This year, since I didn't have any story ideas, I decided it would be fun to pull some cards, and create a story around them. As needed though out the month (whenever I get stuck and run out of ideas), I'll pull a new card or two.

Here are my starting cards. Character cards:

1. booworm
2. person who doesn't feel attractive enough.
3. teenager
4. person with a grudge
5. person who can't go back
6. daydreamer

1 and 2 are the same character, 3 and 4 are a single character, and so are 5 and 6.

Plot cards:

1. one way plane ticket
2. letter to the editor
3. scrapbook

That's what I've got to go on at the moment. I'm using most of these pretty loosely, and I give up on some if I don't like them as the story goes on.

What story would you make with these prompts?
