Impending doom…
Well, the time has come - tomorrow I start writing my 50,000 word novel! At the same time I will be beginning a month-long almost total internet ban (apart from this blog, email once a week, and Nanowrimo forums if I need a proverbial kick up the bum once in a while).
Now, let’s get one thing straight - this is not a novella as I know some of you may point out. I write for kids and a 50k first draft will be a fantastic building block to work on, should I not want to rip it to shreds, chew on it, burn it, use it as toilet paper…you get the picture.
A minor problem. Just a teeny one.
I still have no plot. Nothing. Hence my very short blog today.
In the words of Douglas Adams - don’t panic!
Hi Caroline.
First off, apologies for my contribution to Steve and his Skype “loudness”. If it’s any consolation my better half complains about the same problem at my end
It’s day two into your Nano so I hope you’ve found the plot, and you’re making good progress.
I wrote 30K words towards a novel once, though it took much longer than 30 days, so I sympathise with what you’re going to be going through.
Good Luck!
Cheers
Adam
