Day 8 NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 

is National Novel Writing Month, 

a month long challenge to write a novel 

throughout the month of November.

Today, I tied up some lose ends.  I gave information on motivations, jealousies, and a look into the future with a little foreshadowing.  My main characters are now gonna be closer to each other because the male character became the girl's hero.  He came upon a scary scene at the right moment.

Their parents showed up more today.  We get to see how they figure in the story.  The parents don't take too much away from the story.  The parents just do what they need to do and stay out of the deep action.

I loved dragging out the scene. 

I was very excited to write today's climax--a fight scene.  It was almost too good to write.  I kept getting up from my laptop to find a drink or a snack.

I gave some more background to the town folk.  I explained what they felt about the fight.  Some side with the perpetrator; some sided with Caroline, the victim of the attack.  All in all, the town was divided, and that was realistic.  

I'm still thinking of a possible location for this story.  I need to do a background check on that.  I have a particular town here in Texas in mind.  It was a sleepy town a few decades ago.

Well, thanks for reading this latest update!  I appreciate you all keeping up with me.  Feel free to view my other blog entries.  God bless!
