Day One

[rhian_crockett]

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?

As a group we're doing NaNo, but we're not feeling our story at all and our MC is a cheauvenist.

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

I had that problem once, and I must confess... I brought a storyteller character in, and had her start telling a new story within the story! Problem solved...
