I've been getting tired of outlining, I haven't been following it anyway. I'm going free willy the rest of the way on this one.<br /><br />Dr. Grumpy - congrats on earning your doctorate in awesomeness. I'm thinking of adding 'very' a few thousand times... and a few more adverbs in each sentence. That ought to get across the finish line.<br /><br />Lauri - Yes, I'm thinking about having the characters stop for a meal and then start listing the ingredients of the canned goods in my house. That'll shake things up.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-77543054519629845852011-11-21T11:45:23.593-05:002011-11-21T11:45:23.593-05:00You know, the great thing about NaNo is that you d...You know, the great thing about NaNo is that you don't have to have a plot or a cohesive story. If you like something about this story, the characters, or the setting, or the theme - I would stick with it and explore and let yourself play in that world and see what comes of it.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299983104962912639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-3245298215012181712011-11-21T08:45:13.309-05:002011-11-21T08:45:13.309-05:00Since it's Nano you might as well keep going. ...Since it's Nano you might as well keep going. The point is to rack up words, not write a good story.
