NaNoWriMo
is National Novel Writing Month,
a month long challenge to write a novel
throughout the month of November.
Here I am on day eleven. The ideas are still popping into my head. I'm very appreciative that the creative juices are still bearing fruit. With this novel, I am practically flying on an imaginary red carpet.
I've introduced a new character who is doing a compelling job at convincing the secondary male hero to do just what he should--protect. She's filling the stranger in on the details of the town folk. This is better than telling. I actually had these two characters conversing with one another.
This is building up to what will happen next. Another major event will take place. Possibly another fight scene will happen to bring my secondary heroine to a better place. Before a breakthrough can occur, some chaos must ensue. I've seen that in true life.
The saying goes that it's always calmest before the big storm. The rude character will seem calm, but he will attack when least expected. Will the hero get to that scene before it's too late? I'm still mulling that over in my mind. What would my readers want to see happen? How young or old are my readers? Will it be too much to make the scene graphic? I'll think about it this weekend.
