NaNoWriMo – Day One
Ugh. Ok. I’m back. No, really. I am this time. I might not feel like it but I am. Day One of NaNoWriMo didn’t start all that well for me. Too hung over, but I did insist on going out last night and it was a pretty good party. That said, I’m pretty clear on how the whole thing gets started and I’m planning a pretty intensive day of writing tomorrow once I’ve had some decent sleep (I got four hours worth sleeping on a pile of clothes on my floor).
What I’m finding difficult at the moment (well, apart from the whole scattered and sleepy brain thing) is pinning down the details. My novel is set this year in Ancient Rome and it’s not a period I’m well versed in. I know what I want to do and say and how my characters develop and what happens to them, but all the tiny little details are things I’m just not well versed on. Oh well, I’m trying not to get hung up on it. I’m writing things the way that make sense to me and trying to move along before I get too bogged down.
Anyway, tomorrow’s a new day. Expect big things then.
