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?

But we're 5'000 words in, and can't turn back now. Gods you don't suppose we have to write two novels like we read two books at a time do you? LOL
