New Goal!
So I totally didn't finish my nanowrimo Dean/Cas story because halfway through the month I decided to Get Serious about looking for a new job and most of my free time was eaten up by job searching, resume posting, tweaking etc.
So! the new goal is to have my Dean/Cas Harlequin done by Christmas! because I totally need it done so I can start my supernova which is due in march and is supposed to be 100k long.
oops.
Dean/Cas is at abou 22000 words right now and I'm guessing I'm about 1/3 of the way into the story. They have met. They are starting to 'feel things' for one another and I'm about three -four scenes away from the First Sex Scene. I always plot out my harlequins the same way
Hmm. Perhaps Christmas is a bit... optimistic.

- They meet
- they waffle over their feelings. They're confused. Do they feel what they feel?
- They realize that yes, there are 'feelings'
- they have sex
- The brief bit where they are kinda/sorta/gee!wow in a relationship almost!
- Something Bad Happens and threatens to break them up - this can be internal or external depending on how what I'm going for.
- Something Bad Gets Resolved
- Denouement of happy times
Hmm. Perhaps Christmas is a bit... optimistic.
