Alright, so it's the beginning of Day 5 of NaNoWriMo! I'm still not very sure where my novel is going to go, but I keep telling myself that I have time to figure that out. We'll see :)
In other news, I spent some time last night trying to decide if I actually liked one of my two main characters, and if it wouldn't just be better if I had him killed off. I haven't killed off a character in a long time... and I have to think of what implications that would have for the rest of the characters and the story. Still, it's always good to try out something new! On the other hand, I don't want this to be a particularly dark novel, and I don't want to be flippant about a main character's death... so I guess I'll figure it out
Also, I can tell that this is going to be a long month. I can see now that there's a very good case for planning out where a novel's going to go before you sit down and start writing it. :)
