As much as I love writing, there are times when the plot just seems to elude me. Perhaps I have one, but somehow, I don't think I do. Oh the story sounds good, but it's beginning to feel like it's going to fall apart if I don't find a definite direction soon for it to go towards. I tried to get that injected today. It's definitely time to brainstorm with what I have and see what I can do with this story. I really don't want it to fall flat on its face.
That's the one good thing about doing NaNoWriMo - you just keep writing, and work in the plot as it emerges. Next month will be working with whatever plot I come up with and weave it into the story to make it sound like it is worth reading.
Current word count - 34,884
How is your day? Thanks for reading.

Way to go! you are really writing. For me I have to have the plot first and then allow it to unfold.

Ah this is probably no help at all, but I know I have always enjoyed books , mysteries, where it turns out that the quietest , most off - in - a -corner character actually turns out to be the main protagonist

I woke up a bit early today because I had trouble sleeping at night.
How ever I am bouncing off my internet online thing.

It's going great! I'm at 38K+ and will be back to it soon. I intend to be at 40K before I go to bed tonight and hopefully even more than that. As I was writing yesterday, I started having a feeling of where the story is now headed. That makes me happy.

@just4him You are so patient in other areas, yet with this book, it's pretty hard!

Basically I talk to myself about ideas and work them out in my head before anything is put to the blank canvas on the Word document. NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writer's Month. It's the month of November. So there is a writing challenge that takes place every November to write 50K words in 30 days.
