NaNoWriMo: Day 3

Word Count: 9,011

Today, I managed to put on paper a few pointless rambles that would have been best off remaining in a character’s brain.  Then I stuck another character in solitary confinement when he ought to be meeting people and getting the plot moving.  Hard to meet people in solitary confinement.  Another character, the delightful Erasmus Ross, has discovered that he enjoys writing and is overcoming his addiction to cliches.  Hey, don’t laugh.  It’s a big deal for him.

So, 9,000 words into this story, there’s really not much of a story at all—it would better be described as a rather uninteresting narrative of three rather uninteresting lives.  Here’s hoping they’ll do something interesting sometime soon.

  • You’re barely a fifth of the way through. I think you have a right to only start with the actual plot now.
    But also, wow. You are almost a fifth of the way through, and only four days in!

    A whole world of things can happen in solitary confinement. :) well… probably a whole world of sub plots :)

     
     
     
  • I would try to be helpful, but I’m feeling like I’m in the same predicament right now!

     
     
     
  • Nothing you write could be uninteresting. Are you going to post more clips this month??? PLEASE!

     
     
     
    • Aw, Amy, you’re way too nice. I’ll try and put up a few more excerpts throughout the month, depending on how it all turns out. Or, if I wanted, I could prove to you just how uninteresting my writing can actually be… ;)
