Day five, what have I been doing?
I am playing a bit of rebel-NaNoWriMo this year. Having worked at the story for quite awhile, I really wanted to fix the main problem with the plot (not enough of a conflict to be resolved) and to tighten up other areas.
So on day one I started reading, doing minor re-writes, adding a word or two, deleting a phrase as I went. It’s been awhile since I just read and if they say ‘write the book you want to read’ I’m good with it. I just like these guys. I like the young female main for her seriousness and bits of sly friendliness. I like her companions plain out funniness. I could go on, but I’ll go back to reading and re-writing.
Today at lunch time I quickly ate my packed sandwich and then headed out to sit in the comfy chairs out in the mall. I could have just stayed out there and read the afternoon away…
Sounds good. Hope it goes really really well for you.
