Seriously, all I can think about right now is words, word counts and why my characters aren't doing what I want them to do. This is NaNoWriMo. I suppose I have it easier than other parents though. For one thing, my children are too busy writing their own NaNo novels to be bothering with annoying me (although they do periodically stop to tell me off for daring to play music and interrupting their thought process) and secondly, Lord Voldemort has very kindly taken over just about every household duty there is in order to allow us all to write.
The only thing that annoys me is that I keep writing myself into corners. I suppose it's easier to do when it's NaNo time but it doesn't make it any less frustrating when I do it. I may just follow advice and randomly throw in a ninja or two, just to see what would happen when I get stuck.
I do know one thing, when NaNo is finished, at least half of what I write is going to be binned. I've got three characters who've done nothing but bicker between themselves, wander around a hotel and, on occasion, set each other up to be eaten by zombies.
Oh well, I'm losing writing time so back to work it is. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
