in the inevitable case that I can't make a reasonable plot out of the few ideas I have, I've stolen these ideas from the adopt a plot thread from NaNo's forums.
-Fairy tale characters are all getting annoyed because a wicked old woman is putting curses on them/luring them into gingerbread houses/marrying their fathers and trying to kill them. They hire a detective who must track down this woman while falling in love with a princess who's already got her Prince Charming.
-Pretty much, instead of the Queen finding her and tricking her into eating the poisoned apple, the Captain of the Navy hears about the Queen's plan to poison her, and saves Snow White by turning traitor against his kingdom and sailing off with the princess, the seven dwarves, and a hand-picked crew of his sailors. The Queen is angry, but with the Captain having disappeared, she has no way to get control of the Navy, and decides to just leave things as is since Snow White is no longer in "the land" to be called the fairest. Years later, there are whispers of a pirate ship off the coast attacking the reformed Navy, a ship called The Bitter/n Apple. This is, of course, Snow White, who has returned to take over the kingdom that is rightfully hers.
-FMC attends a wedding just to reveal that she's pregnant with the grooms child.
-At the beginning of each chapter you have a group of friends attending a funeral, the same funeral over and over again. Only one of them realizes there is something wrong, but each time he brings it up they say he's insane. To make things worse the corpse is starting to talk to him.
-A child monster is afraid of humans hiding under his bed. He leans over the edge of the bed and looks underneath to find a human child leaning over the edge of his own bed and looking underneath for monsters. Do they scream for their parents or become friends?
I'll probably end up doing one of these for my NaNo...possibly.

How to Make a Novel...Out of This?!
So I've been lurking around the new thread for all the adopt a ... threads in the new NaNo forums and I've come up with a few ideas as well as taken a few ideas for my novel this year. I still have no idea what it's about, who my characters are going to be or how anything is going to connect and flow...but I'm working on it. Anyway, these are the ideas that I quite like at the moment:
-Time spent in queues/waiting is given back at the end of your life.
-Time Travel is possible.
-Angel type healing powers are possible.
-People wear lifespan in an hourglass necklace which is given to them at birth.
Now all I have to do is take those ideas and create a story out of them...
