Explosions, fire, betrayal! Dark secrets and dark prison cells! All in all, I’m rather pleased with my first 3000 words today :)

I wasn’t so sure about participating Nano this year, to be honest. There’s a lot going on in my life right now – good things, but still things that need attention – and combined with a pretty difficult test this Thursday, I just didn’t know when to squeeze in time for noveling. Basically, my head’s been feeling like a big old nuclear power plant in mid-meltdown.

But this afternoon I was so few up with narrative theology, that I decided to start Word, open that blank page and see if I could get a first scene down on paper. And then I realized just how exciting this part in the story actually was. You know, explosions, betrayal (le gasp! How can you do this to me!), throwing up in a dark prison and meeting a mysterious stranger for the first time.

Nanowrimo, you know how to get my writing juices flowing. The bad news is, I sort of used up all of my pre-prepared plot. There’s this general idea that I have, plus that very complicated escaping plan that Nimue has to perform, but how to get there…? I have no idea. Tomorrow, we’ll see!
