All Set and Ready To Go

I'm getting so excited to start writing on Sunday!

Today I finished entering all my 'organic' and 'planned' conflict (see Holly Lisle's HtTS course) into the notes section of the scenes where they will go. Again I'm grateful for the work on conflict I've been doing in HL's Scenes course as well. I found more places to expand on Interpersonal conflict, more layers to add to the story. Understand that my last Nanonovel, which was under planned, had a great big picture story arch that went really well, but was basically just hitting plot points. The kind of lower-level conflict that I'm adding to the big picture here is going to allow for a lot more character and culture exposition to happen naturally, while moving the story forward, and hopefully require a lot less revision. It is satisfying and inspiring to see the difference and know that if I continue to work, I will continue to improve.

Tomorrow I will not be writing. I will be preparing for many of my family's basic needs to be met while I am in the throes of Nanowrimo and a few other big projects. I'll check in again on Sunday, after our first Write-In with the local folks who are writing novels this month.
