Nanowrimo 2022

Today is the first day of Nanowrimo! I’m still working on Grace, so this is my effort to finish my first draft this month. I’m at a little over 40k words, and if I ‘complete’ NW, I’ll be over 90k by December 1st!

Honestly, I’m a little scatterbrained with where everything is going - it’s just like my experience with Elle. I had an idea of what I wanted to write, and then as I developed the story, it became its own living creation. Not to mention, totally different than I origionally imagined.

This one started as a thriller/murder mystery, now, it’s still mysterious, but with a sarcastic ghost and exes-lovers trope.

Serious question, how the heck do you leave the world of fiction in your imagination? I much prefer it to reality and I’m struggling to leave my characters every time I stop working. Writer’s probs, I suppose
