Nanowrimo Progress
Nanowrimo 2009 Supergoal: Three Book Year:
Magic in the Streets
Medicine Show, Nanovel Two 2009
Greenwood Road, Nanovel Three
Book Three interrupted Book Two. I opened a file for notes on it to make notes and shove it aside. But I was in a trancy, half asleep mood and dialogue happened in the notes at 720 words. Another few hundred later, the scene from the end or sometime after the end that might wind up on the cutting room floor ended and the real opener started -- at about 1500 words in, I guess. The real opener came out good.
I kept going. It is sloppy. I'm not even defining chapter breaks, I'll do that later. I stopped being quite so methodical or organized in favor of mad freewriting... and it's gotten me completely immersed for several days. Now it's big and looking to get lots bigger than 80k.
Or the ending will hit me between the eyes like stepping on a rake and it'll have sequels, it could easily turn out like that. It's either a doorstop or a seven book series.
