Well, ok, so I got started really late with my writing project. I spent the beginning of the week recovering a bit from socializing over the weekend and didn’t really buckle down to write until Thursday night. Whoops!
I’m not focusing on being ‘behind’ or even word count. My only goal is to work on this one story idea and whatever length it ends up being to tell the tale, so be it. So I guess that makes me a NaNo rebel this year. And I’m totally okay with that.
The idea that I’m working with this year is an old one. Years ago I had a dream that I remembered part of upon waking–a girl running through the woods, being chased by someone, falling and the fae folk inviting her to enter their realm, offering her a hiding place, and escape. And so that’s the root of it, and I’m working with that idea and building on it. There are a lot of different directions I could take, and I’ve tried before (over complicating the plot because that’s what I do), so I’m taking a different approach this time. So far, I think I’ve got a good thing going but we’ll see what happens.
I don’t have a ton of words yet, but, like I said, it’s less about word count for me this year. We’ll see how things go from here. Hopefully can get a lot of writing done on Saturday. 🙂
For everyone else doing NaNo, how is your project coming? Happy writing!
Way Too Fantasy 
Ooo yay! A fae book! 😁 sounds good. I hope you enjoy it 😁
Thanks!
I used to have a dream that was similar and recurrent. Running through a forest, as a young girl, with my parents holding hands either side, then they were gone and I was on my own still running scared. No idea how that one ends!
Good luck with your story.
Lynn 😀
Dreams are weird!
Thanks!
Sounds like a great idea, good luck:-)
Thanks! 🙂
That sounds like a story I would absolutely read! Good luck!!
Thanks!
Interesting idea, it’ll be cool to see where it leads you!
Thanks! I think so too, we’ll see!
I love your idea and great job getting some things down!
Thank you!
Always great to be a rebel 😉 Sounds like a fun idea! and I often think it works to not do it based on the word count 🙂
Thanks! Yeah, I like using NaNo as a motivator, rather than a strict contest against myself lol.
hehe totally relate!
