NaNo Frustrations

I'm at that frustrating stage in NaNo prep where I don't know what the heck I want to write about. A million ideas are ricocheting around in my head, and I'm having a hard time sorting through them all and settling on one in particular to explore. I'm not even sure what genre I want to write in this time around. My first NaNo (2008) was erotica, and last year (2009) was action/mystery. I'm not sure if I want to do something completely new (maybe sci-fi, horror), or give mystery another chance, since I only got 20,000 words into my novel last year.

I've got a couple characters I'm mulling over, but I really need to get my rear in gear and do some serious prep work. I'm not going to fall short on NaNo two years in a row, and I've got a long way to go before the first of November.
