Day 3!
So far, the novel is going surprisingly... well...
This is probably because I started writing it on Sunday (shhh don't tell) and ended up about 3,000 words ahead of schedule. As a result, I'm not pulling words out of my teeth (not an actual expression), although I am trying to write the prescribed number of words one should write a day if one wishes to finish NaNoWriMo on time. So far, so good!
Hit a bit of a block today-- my original plan was to have three main characters, each chapter devoted to a different POV (it's fine, ok?! It's fine for a 30,000 word novella, ok?!) but I am feeling uninspired to write the third character. I'm blaming it on the fact that unlike the two other characters, the people she loves don't die horrific deaths. She's kind of a grouch, this character, and I was planning on most of her story being her complaining about life, which, as it turns out, is really boring to write.
I'll try writing about her. Maybe she'll get a bit of a personality-change :) I like the idea of her story acting as a counter to the character Si's story-- they're in opposite roles in this society, and they know each other, which I thought could make it sort of interesting.
Ooooorrr maybe it'll just make it super boring.
Whatever.
It's been fun writing about my two other main characters, Bixby and Si so far. Bixby's a little crazy and she has dogs and OMGIFREAKINGLOVEDOGSTHEMOSTEVER.
So there's that.
Well! Day three, and feeling good!
Word Count: 5,948
Feelin': Good!?
You go girl.
