* Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November. Sorry...just had to do that.

* I now have 8,834 words out of 50,000 for NaNoWriMo. Yay! I'm also discovering that going back over the stuff I'd written the day before and making changes helps me get in gear to write new material. Anybody else doing NaNo feel the same way?

* Today, I'm thinking of taking a short break from writing and doing a short field trip for my picture of the day. It depends upon how much work I get done this morning.

* I guess that last bullet point means I better get cracking, huh?

Yes I go back over but mostly to remember where the hell I am in it, what I wrote and which character is where! They keep doing things I don't expect. I want a mix of humor, sadness and love, but without "sex and violence (and love), you have no story!" (One other tip I read that I like is "put your protaganist on a cliff and throw rocks at them".) And I haven't figured out their website hardly at all.

People do say that Guy Fawkes was the first man with honest intentions to enter parliment...

I actually find that switching scenes helps. If I'm stuck...I'll skip ahead to something I know has to happen...write that scene...and then go backwards and fill in the "in between" section.

I figure after I get to my first "plot point" I can go back and see if I need any more fill in.
