Day 7 NaNoWriMo


NaNoWriMo 
is National Novel Writing Month, 
a month long challenge to write a novel 
throughout the month of November.

People have mistreated my favorite gal, big time!

I decided to give more substance to my main characters.  I think the story needed background to the parents of the baby.  I'm making the father into a protective but funny character.  My momma does not trust anyone and has built up a wall between herself and the rest of the world.  

I went back to the beginning and added dialogue and information on how Papa met his best friend, too.  I think I'm managing to bring some elements together.  I still don't feel like I've added enough scenery and description to the surroundings.  I'll have to go back and describe my characters in greater detail, too.  

I'm having my characters do a lot of thinking.  Perhaps that might be a good thing.  That's turning out to be a challenge to me.  Flashbacks are popping up, too.  I'll have to look into that later.


Well, thanks for reading, my friends.  I'll give another update tomorrow.
