NaNoWriMo Progress
I've also posted this to the nanowrimo community on LJ
This is my second time trying NaNoWriMo, and so far I've gotten more words than I did in the entire month last time. As of now, I'm at a grand total of 6333 words.
What's happening though is the story is taking off in entirely new directions from what I'd planned (the little planning i did). That's great, except I've now entirely switched viewpoint characters after the first chapter and a half. Go with it? try to write things back to my original character?
And, nearly all of what I'm getting is from the past. How do I get the story moving forwards again? The society I've created for the back-story is starting to make me uncomfortable to say the least. I'd like to get the characters to their new home sometime soon, rather than dwelling on bullies and a society where the arts are penalized entirely.
