NaNoWriMo 2011 - Day 17

Day 17 - 13 days remaining

Caress the detail, the divine detail.

— Vladimir Nabokov



Has the plot bunny you followed down the rabbit hole deserted you to take tea with your Mad Inner Editor and left you wondering what happens next? Caress the detail! Rather than let a day pass without writing, go back and flesh out a bare scene or two with divine detail. And take heart - tomorrow is another day!

Today’s word count is 28,339! Questions? Comments? Share something to smile about? My favorite typo for the day: “Certainly, I would be happy for the whelp,” Dodd said. Apparently my subconscious sees the character as a father-to-be and not in need of a hand ;-) but it’s all good! Keep writing!

Something like that, yes. :(
I really should stop myself from rereading all I've written and just, write on... But *shakes head* My MC and even my villans are not cooperating for the moment. *rolls eyes* Perhaps I can bribe them with some chocolate...?

Yes, try chocolate! For every hundred words or so, let them know there will be a small chocolate treat and then for a day's quota something really delicious!

How about archiving/hiding most of your earlier work except for the last paragraph or so? Tweaking your story can really put the breaks on story telling...

Hoping chocolate bribery helps!
