I finally broke through chapter one for my NaNoWriMo endeavor. I like this excercise and ask myself, why in the bloody blue blazes did I not try sooner. C’est la vie. I realized how important it is for me to have a few fundamental things decided on, which goes back to how I create a character in my mind. I won’t tell you how long I spent [about 3 days] thinking up a name for one of my two main characters. And ye gods, I forgot how hard it was to write introductions without boring ME to bits.
Ironically main character number two is without name. I haven’t found one that is him but I have found him for the most part. I have all these ‘scenes’ and this is what I’m most impatient about sometimes, getting to them, because these pick up the pace. It’s the connective tissue and doing so that it’s isn’t oh so very convinient. But I do enjoy having my moments where I can see where what I’m doing now can lead to where I want to end up. I do enjoy that.
On top of that, I’m leaving for Hong Kong in two days and I’ve yet to find my passport. You’d think I’d have this in the bag. The thing is, I hate packing.
Have fun in HK, babe. And do think of us lesser fortunates once in a while. *G*
I’ll think youse guys everytime I have food, pick up some jade, and snap the button on my camera…wishing you were here. Honest! 😀
