Hey, I hear there is such a thing as NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month. That sounds like such a good idea right now. A blog post every day in November? No problem.
I have to admit, I am having doubts about my story idea. First and foremost, it’s a mystery. Good mysteries have well developed plot points and twists and turns and surprises. I have none of those things planned out. All I have is a male main character. [doubt number two] and his personal assistant, Miss Oomura. Who is based on my boyfriend’s imaginary Asian, lesbian personal assistant. [oh, like your boyfriend doesn’t have an imaginary Asian, lesbian personal assistant too.] But I’m not sure, as much as like Arthur, I’m feeling him all main charactery. I think I have delusions of Dashiel Hammett. And that is just not a style of writing that comes quickly. It’s not my default style, if you know what I mean.
Oh well, I’m not giving up. I’ll give it a week, and if it’s not working out, a gang of ninja monkeys will come in and kill everyone off.
Current word count, 1275. I’m going to take a wee break to do some outlining, as that might make me feel a bit more secure.
