Camp NaNoWriMo August 2011 - Day 14

Day 14 - 17 days remaining



Stories have a beginning, a middle and an end.
But not necessarily in that order.

- 
Robert Silverberg

The word count today Nano Writers is 22,580. How is everyone coming along?

If you have stalled out and you feel uninspired or unsure about where your main character is headed next, skip a scene or two or even jump ahead to your climatic scene or final scene. There's no rule that you must write your story in sequential order. Shake things up a bit. The change may jump start your enthusiasm and creativity... how does your MC end up on hanging from one of the girders of the Eiffel Tower?

Questions? Shout outs? Last word written today? Mine was rather plain: "see." But it's all good Nano Writers - keep writing!

*grins* I do that like ... Always. I have my beginning. And after that I have lots of parts of my middle piece. And I have parts of my ending. :p
I often switch between pieces because I'm stuck somewhere. And then I work on another part, until I get stuck there. And then I move back to a previous one where all of a sudden I can continue again. :p
My last word today is "live".

Oh "live" has so many ways to go - a nice place to pick up from.

I have to admit that sometimes when I hit a difficult scene I do a bit of outlining and move on. More often than not, something later makes going back easier, certainly more productive.
