NaNoWriMo Day 10 update

11/10/2012

2 Comments

 
Well readers, I survived the first week without falling behind.  Whether that holds true for the weekend remains to be seen.  Weekends are more difficult for getting the writing in, as the kids are home and in need of attention.

The story is progressing quite well aside from one gaping plot hole I noticed.  I'm writing partly about the royal family of Frandia and I realized I left out a whole prince!  Oops.  And I need him in a critical scene later in the book.   I added him to the scene I was writing at the time, and I will go back and add him to others when I start rewrites.

It occurs to me that I may have to cut subplots and possibly characters, including some of my favorites.  But if they're that interesting they can always have their own book.  It may become a series, instead of a trilogy with a prequel.  Would that be a quadrilogy?  If there's a fifth book will it be a quintology?  I apologize.  I'm rambling, aren't I?

Anyway, overall it's going quite well, so fans of The DeFord Chronicles, Part I can look forward to the sequel finally being finished, and hopefully published within a year.

I'm off to start dinner for the family, and then to help my NaNoWriMo region crack the top  on the total wordcount scoreboard.  Go Wisconsin: Elsewhere!

The last sentence should read "crack the top 100." The internet ate my number!
