Countdown to NNWM 2012 − 24 Days!

24 days until the start of NNWM


Plot is a map and I begin with it.
It is what made me admire the novels of the 19th century;
that the stories are foreshadowed. They’re going someplace.

— John Irving



Can you imagine the beginning of your story, Nano Writer? The end? Then you have a map…

supposing I do write this year

Assuming I don't sit this one out, the opening scene is my protagonist learning that her uncle has died :(
(but she'll find out whodunnit, assuming I do write the story!)

Acorns and oaks, my friend ;-) I hope that you'll have time this year to write your whodunnit!

I've never actually written a mystery before! So even if I just dabble in it and it takes me three months, I'm still interested. (I don't know what happened to her uncle yet. Or who caused it to happen. Just that his shuffle off the mortal coil was assisted somehow by someone.)
