Day 5 NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 

is National Novel Writing Month, 

a month long challenge to write a novel 

throughout the month of November.

We went yard sale shopping.  I hadn't done that in a long time.  I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't done that since last year.  It was a great way to enjoy myself.  We got lots of bargains and met lots of decent folks.

I didn't do any writing today.  That doesn't mean that the plot to my novel hasn't been on my mind.  I've come to love my heroine.  I'm also thinking that if I have a lot of material for the current female character, I might make two novels.  The first one would be the mother of the next heroine.  I'm not sure about it, though.

I'm thinking of giving a Christian slant to my story, but I don't want my story to be too preachy.  I want to show that my main character overcomes major obstacles to be the best person she can be.  I don't want to take the effect away by becoming condescending to my readers.  The main people involved with my heroine are already Christian so it wouldn't be a large leap for my heroine to grow spiritually throughout her journey.  What do you think?

Thanks for reading my update.  I appreciate you all keeping up with me.
