I'm alternately proud, and ashamed. I managed to write more than a thousand words today while I was at school. Most of it was done in Psychology, the one class that I barely need to pay attention in. It's nice to know that I can write even when someone is talking in the background. Sometimes I do my best concentrating when I have background noise, such as the television, or my freakishly loud family. Other times, I need to be in complete solitude. Today was not one of those times, I guess.
I've been getting random bursts of inspiration all day. I've been considering whether or not to kill off a character or two, and if I do end up killing someone off, then who? My boyfriend suggested that I kill off David, saying that 'it would offer great character development for Ember!' But if David died, Ember would spiral into insanity. She would fall apart, and there would be no story anymore. So David will definitely NOT be dying. Not in my story, anyway. He'll probably die of old age just like the rest of us, eventually.
Now that I've passed the initial reintroducing my characters part, I'm enjoying my novel a lot. The characters are lovely, as I've come to expect, and so far my plot hasn't had too many holes. I decided I need to cut one character out completely, so I'm going to be doing some major editing to my first novel once November is over. And I forgot that the group had a big ol' Saint Bernard dog with them, so I'm going to have to figure that one out too. He'll probably show up unexpectedly, and I'll have to go back and fix the fact that I haven't mentioned him yet in the story. My plot holes have been easy to fix, so far.
Things are going quite well! I hope any pf you readers who are participating in NaNoWriMo are doing as well with your novels!
