A Thousand Voices Whisper It True
Nov. 22nd, 2007 05:58 pmA big thank you to everyone who supplied me with a random sentence here. I've used every single sentence you provided and I'm now on my way to completing my first evah novel! Woohoo! You provided me with characters, scenarios and a whole lot of inspiration to get me through the last 22 days.
I think the secret is to reach 25,000. Once you are at that point, your story has enough subplots and character development to take you to the end. Or at least that's how it feels to me. Things are clearer in my head; I'm very close to ending Act II and getting started with Act III (which promises to be a fun roller coaster ride). I finally don't see writing every day as a chore, but as another step towards a satisfying end. I'm 5,000 words behind in the word count; it looks unlikely I'll hit 50,000 by 30 November. But that's OK; I've got enough interest now in my own story to keep going.
I hope other NaNo participants reading this are doing well too. My novel is provisionally titled The Hydriade (would you buy a horror novel with that name?) What's your novel called?
