I hate this novel.
Nov. 1st, 2009 11:17 amIiiiiit's NaNo!
And at some point over the last month, all of my characters have wandered off. I'm having to fight to characterise Regan, Meredith and Anya, FFS - they're some of my oldest and favouritest characters.
On the plus side, it's flowing today. Last night, when I started (yes, I'm one of those sad people who sits up until midnight on October 31st to start as soon as possible), it took me nearly an hour to churn out 500 words of pure unadulterated crap. Today, it's flowing, but there's no spark. None. No character channelling, no plot point happening. Just... blah.
I suppose it's not too surprising. I've barely written any fiction since last Easter, so I ought to be blocked and horrible. Just... hopefully I'll break through it before Week One's out.
Aaaaaargh.
