NaNo News
Day 7 and I'm 1500 some words behind. No worries though. A great idea popped into my head this evening and I just need to type it down and see what my characters decide to do with it. I was like 4000 words behind yesterday so I'm just glad that I've gotten so many today to get me back in the game. Thank you Dr. Wicked whoever you may be.
I finally got my wonderful cousin Mariah to begin NaNoing. And she's been doing pretty good. I really want to read it! And next year I'll get Hannah in on the fun ;)
So to tell you a little of my story. It begins with a funeral for a dwarf. Then it goes on to tell of the lives of the two brothers who have to face their sorrow and go through their own trials in life. Zimri is the adventurous one who goes out into the world to meet elves and other creatures. And Omri would rather just stay home and care for his family and farm. Well thats all I can think of right now.
I'm going to throw my little dwarf friends into trouble and then try to bail them out. They do pretty good on their own though. I think they're actually the ones controlling the story. But then that is as it should be considering its about them, right? My problem is that I have no plot or evil character. It's not a book without a nemesis is it? We'll see. Maybe someone will try to throw Omri into a volcano and make Zimri come save him.
This is the first time I've ever written in third person and I thought it would be difficult but I kind of like it better than first person. I like exploring the feelings of every character and see their reactions to the main ones. With first person you only get to view the reactions and not dive into them.
So. Back to the noveling world I go. Happy first week of NaNoWriMo. By the end of next week I should have 23338. That's almost halfway done! We'll see. 11334 here I come!

aww! Val you mentioned me! I feel special. I can't believe we need to have that many words by next week! Ahh! What have you gotten me into?
ReplyDeleteI have gotten you into a great adventure! Just think, someday you'll be reading your novel to your children! Now the question is, What have I gotten myself into?! I can't even think clearly right now and my fingers feel very sluggish. They just want to sleep and I've only written like 10 words today....
