National Novel Writing month, Day 8
Word count: 1,745
I have worked over the revised idea for my NaNo novel throughout the day and feel I’m close to having the protagonist in a situation, which is where I want to be before committing to the whole writing thing again. One part is simple enough–he comes across the Chekov’s gun, cleverly disguised as a journal (there are a million or so ways this could happen), but for some reason I have this notion that there needs to be a car accident or other traumatic incident up front, too, to replace the scene of him getting hurt in the woods that opens the play. Maybe I’m wrong and I should just write and see what happens.
Which I will do…tomorrow.
