Day One
Welcome to NaNoWriMo! And to November, of course...
So far, the writing seems to be going well. Characters who weren't talking to me when I was trying to plan things are suddenly being very talkative. Case in point: Gaheris. I had an idea of him, but he wasn't breathing. I tried things out with him and nothing was working. And then today I sat down, and got writing, and suddenly he wanted me to know that he has a kind of rivalry with [spoiler] over [spoiler], and that he isn't interested in marriage, and that his first loyalties are to family and not to a king. And I discovered that he's the strong and silent type.
I also discovered that he'd rather like watching NCIS, but somehow I don't think that'll make its way into the narrative.
Still in quest of a title, though.
How is anyone else doing? Any startling discoveries?
