NaNoWriMo Update

I am glad to report that I am still on the pace that I wanted to set for myself. At the halfway point of the month I am over 30,000 words. Which surpassed my total for last year. w00t! I also feel the the story has a lot more to tell. I'm not sure that it will be done at 50,000 words which is fine by me. I have been using the technique the Stephen King suggests in his book On Writing. I've been slowly uncovering the fossil of the story and have been surprised by some of the decisions of the characters. When I sat down to write this I had a very loose frame work for the story and knew almost nothing about the characters. THey have all evolved into some very interesting and insightful characters. I'm enjoying the direction the story is taking me and seeing the characters change as I unearth more and more of their tale.


It has been an eye opening experiment and I think that I may have found a style that works for me. Granted I would need to do more research in the future but for the genre of this book it works as is. I really enjoy writing in the superhero genre, even if it has a very heavy twist to it. I still don't know how it will end, and I'm excited to eventually find out as the characters tell me.
