She does have idea notebooks. I do the same with a running documents on the computer, although I really don't write any fiction. I know the "I don't want to loose this thought!" feeling.
I'll keep the NaNoWriMo in mind for next year as she is in a writing class for this fall, using resources she likes.
She's a "need input" kid- always has been. I increased her supply of history and science (and comic) books/ magazines and bought her a model rocket to build. So far, so good. We are on a school break right now, so it's tough to say how next week will go.
Last year we did more contest math/ problem solving as part of our routine math, but it's fallen off of our schedule as we button up some loose ends for before Algebra.
