Update Daily? ...Hah...

Ok, so maybe expecting myself to update this blog daily was a little much. But things are going well in the novel writing club, in spite of my inability to keep a blog updated.

And that's good news.

As far as my book goes, I've been trying several different methods for getting plot to paper. Right now I'm using the "Dialog Pass" as outlined at terribleminds.com. And I've got my "Story Bible" all written out as well (I love MindNode). It's been very helpful and both of these allow me to skip around to parts of the story that I feel inspired to write at the moment.

Now I just need to get out of the house a few evenings a week so I can actually focus! :)

But now I'm off to bed, I do still have two children to raise, after all.

Did you know? ...

... That November is national novel writing month?

Well! It IS! So, I'm going to write 50K words in November. And each day, I'm going to jot down (quickly, because who knows WHERE I will find the time) how I am feeling, and what the process is like. 

Thus far, I've gotten a basic plot, my two main characters, a few secondary characters, and a setting. 

And I'm already procrastinating. But, just like Johnny Cash sang, "Time's a wastin'"! After all, "A cake's no good, if you don't mix the batter and bake it!" Yes, I know, June. I'll get this batch in the oven somehow.

... So much fun. Anyway! Over the next few days before the first of November, I am going to set down the rest of my plot, plan my chapters, and get to developing my people. 

If I like certain parts, I might put them here. ;) 

So you and I both have something to look forward to! :)
