Ironing Things Out
It’s now six days until NaNoWriMo and I must confess I haven’t really thought about what I’m going to be writing since the other day, when there were thirteen days to go.
Part of me is afraid that I’ll do things to death before the start date and be too overworked to be able to start and jinx myself, the other is just completely stumped already which isn’t a good sign.
It’s not as if there’s no prep work at all been done. I don’t need to know every little thing about the characters. I mean, I am right that if I start detailing everything down to how many acne treatments they did each week while they were going through puberty that will be too much information to allow for organic growth during the story, I’m sure even what I have now I’ll find that some of it will change as they shape themselves during the actual writing process.
However, I’d started a filter on my livejournal with the idea that I’d at least write out a couple more posts of prep before go time and bounce ideas off a couple of my fellow NaNo-ers and I haven’t done any of that.
I’ll just have to trust that hasn’t bitten me in the butt.
