NaNoWriMo - Day 1
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.

That's about 900 words more than me at the moment!

I do a blogathon in February. It is for the truly lazy blogger as February has the least number of days in the month! LOL

My word count is holding at one. But I've got great hopes!

If ninjas come in and kill everyone off that is perfectly acceptable in a Nanowrimo story.
I too am having doubts about my nano-story. I chose something relatively serious in topic and I am wondering if I can keep it up. I want fun, goofiness, gay pirates and what not.
That's the great thing about Nano, it's all about word count baby. Plot? Style? Voice? Consistant point of view? Who needs em!
