I realized after a few hundred words today that oops, something I’d put down earlier didn’t jive with something I’d just written. Which was it going to be? I thought about it for a few minutes and erased a couple key words at the earlier part, updated a few things mid way through the new stuff and couldn’t quite get myself out of the hole. I still can’t decide: should the small character be this type of being or that? To make matters worse, the question or problem that was raised seems really a molehill and I wrote and wrote, trying to make it turn around into something that mattered to the plot.
I think I made the right choice for the character (and a minor one! seriously minor!) but it all seemed pretty muddy. With some seriously happy little bits. Muddy but happy? Ack.
The good news is that I added 5756 words in the past two days, for a total of 13061. To heck with the plot for the moment – this is NaNoWriMo – forge ahead!
