Re: Re: Re: Second Day - Is there enough time?
I actually like this idea.
take in a deep breath, hold it...no, not till you turn blue...exhale so you can take notes. *Bigsmile*

Please consider there is internal conflict/ antagonist or protagonist either one will work. Then there is the outside conflict that works in terms of how to deal with people, places, environment, space the final frontier, or anywhere else. The other conflict to consider is the mind. The mind can be and do some quirky things. You can use only one or mix and match.

Anything your imagination conceives is a treasure for now on this project or for later on this project or any other new or old project.

The biggest skill I learned my first time doing NaNo was to write. To do nothing but write. and, more do nothing but write. Allow the story, characters, places, conflicts, and other elements to flow and follow along. You would be surprised at the magic that comes forth and what you can do to mold it into a story to be proud to share with people.

Don't edit unless it is very quick and simple, otherwise, your story will turn into an editing exercise that will blow up.

Where is this story taking place and what is happening?
Who is the good guy(s)and who is the bad guy(s0/person(s)?
What do they want and why?
And, please consider putting chocolate into the pudding, no wait, do you have cats and dogs? Animal pudding is best.

BTW, animals work very well in stories. One more thing, inanimate objects are very useful. I have thought about creating a story around something like a table, animal or two, and some kind of conflict either posed by nature or people. Or, something like it.

Start with something no matter how lame it seems. The idea will take care of its self, just get the idea. You can mold and shape it as you add other information throughout this prep challenge.

I hope you have a lot of fun following your imagination where ever it wants to take you.
Safe travels and many blessings.
