NaNoWriMo Help!

NaNoWriMo Help!

I know that I need to get 1,613 words a day for 31 days to get to 50,003 words for NaNo (I used a calculator), but I don't know how to write that much. I have two plot ideas, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry either of them to more than 3,000 words, if I even get to that amount. Here they are:

1. Fractured Princess and the Frog AKA The Elf and the Deer

Basically, there is a powerful (in magic) elf name Kia who is disguised as a human mage, and a farm boy name Max. Max wants to be a prince, so he finds a male mage name Goinya AKA Go. Go tells Max that he will turn Max into a deer (I didn't want a horse, XD), and if he finds a female mage to ride him to the castle  he will turn into a prince. So, he finds Kia, and she rides him for a few inches and turns into a deer. Then, they find Go (again, XD) who tells them to find a real female mage and recite the story of their adventures. They find Kia's friend, Sahra. They tell their story, then they turn into a princess a prince. There is no love involved, only friendship.

Problems: I don't think I'll be able to get a good story with 50,000 words out of this plot idea, and I don't think I'll be able to carry through.

2. Tamara Besiquen (I need a better title XD)

Main charrie: Tamara Besiquen has two powers that match her moods. When she has a positive mood she can use earth, and when she has a negative mood she has fire.

Plot (super stupid, but I came up with it while lying in bed at 9:00 at night, and I couldn't think of anything else): Tamara gets bullied because she is an outcast. No one knows that she has powers. She accidently starts a fire in her school and it grows and burns down the school. She gets sent to a 'jail' fo kids with powers. They work together and escape. Then, they rebuild the school.

Problems: I love the charrie, but this is an absolutely horrible plot. If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions, or opinions on the plot, it might cheer up my day. Another problem is that I might rush through it so much that I'll only get 1-2,000 words.

Help?

Please give opinions on which one for me to choose. Also, if you don't like either (yeah, that will probably happen a lot), can you please give me a plot idea, if it is allowed on NaNo (I haven't done NaNo before)? For now, I'll wait until the post shows up and I get a few votes.

Thanks for the help! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll figure out how to get a story done for NaNo. Thanks again!
