NaNoWriMo - Day 3

[amyww]

So I guess I'm not going to post officially in the NaNoWriMo website that I guess tracks words? I'm working on too many separate things. And the novel is plenty of *words* right now, just a little ...thin...on that whole...middle part. Like, plot. But I had a revelation today, i think. though it happens a lot. I have to let it percolate in my mind

That does sound tough!! I don't know if I can do NaNoWriMo right now - I am a slow writer and too many things going on right now. What I really oughta use this month for is polishing up some of my older novels that I wrote a bajillion years ago.

Ugh, the worst writer's block I ever had on a story lasted a good long while, and the only way I finally got out of it was on a 10-hour long drive home with my sister where she let me talk about plot until I figured out what I wanted. We didn't talk about my book exclusively for 10 hours, but she let me talk for as long as I needed :) So *shrug* if you wanna spit-ball plotty ideas you're welcome to use me. I also tend to do a lot of my thinking while I'm working out in the gym. Endorphins are lovely at getting the brain in gear.

Ooh, I'll be unbelievably excited for this apparently super-smutty, emotional piece from you. Now I just have to find a way to distract myself until you post it.

That's part of the problem. I was plotting it out with one of my daughters but she moved back to Colorado. I do my best plot work pacing around while someone else takes notes. The daughter I have left is USELESS for that. Useless. I don't even know why I keep her around. All she does it eat all the Triscuits and drink the milk so i have none left for tea.

How am I supposed to write without tea?

I might use you to spit-ball plotty ideas. I do take people up on those kid of offers. Maybe it would be good to have someone with NO idea what's going on, take a look at the so-called plot and see what isn't clear.

When you know all the details, it's sometiems really hard to see where the holes are.

I am so jealous of your daughter right now. I miss Colorado. Wow, did she take notes for you!? Sounds like a really awesome daughter you have. Do you guys Skype?

Lol, well, good luck on sorting out your tea problem. I know I can hardly drink the stuff unless I cut it with *a lot* of sugar and honey and milk. Honestly, by the time I finish with it, I mostly decide I might as well be drinking hot cocoa, which is generally what I want anyway.

Yeah, I'm up for it if you need. I know everything I post here is mostly pwp, but all my original stuff is mostly plot :)
