NaNoWriMo: Day 1
Eight hours into NaNoWriMo!
My word count stands at 3,004 after last night’s first burst of writing. Remember tip #1 from the post below this one? I’m already adapting. Somehow, my MC didn’t turn out quite as I expected. In fact, he’s downright boring. But that prison clerk, Erasmus Ross…now there is a guy with a story.
I didn’t realize what was happening till I had a page of writing about the poor MC, and was well on my way toward a chapter dedicated to Erasmus.
We’ll see what happens with that. As it is, I’m happy to have reached the 3k mark. Going for 5k today at the least.

Congrats on a great start to NaNo! What is this story about, I’m very curious.
God Bless You,

Erasmus Ross sounds like an extremely intriguing character! Maybe it’s for the best that he comes out stronger than the MC. Maybe your entire novel will change to focus on him! Maybe…
Your noveling friend,

I’m behind already — as is to be expected.
I didn’t start writing until like 3:40 yesterday afternoon. That was partly because I spent a lot of potential writing time still planning things out. But if this is anything like February Madness, I’ll catch up about half-way through the month. *grins*

Thanks, Taylor! This one’s about a prison escape in the Civil War. And it’s hardly planned out at all, so we shall see where it ends up by the end of the month.

Oh, that sounds really neat, I like that idea! I hope it goes well. Have a good time writing!
God Bless You,
