NANO: Finishing up? Or bogging down?

 Original Posting Nov. 25, 2017

I’m behind, I’m behind. But luckily, over here there’s a whole posting about Nano!

Dig out your tell, don’t shows, and switch them around? Make it show, show, show!

Ah, boring? Well, what’s the problem, and why does the main character care? Remember, the first syllable of character is care! Mix in other POV, add try-fail...

ChAos? First draft! Where did you want to go? Where are you going now?

Consider world building. Sometimes you need a little infodump. Level it out latter, go ahead and dump!

Romance? Problems? Pets? Make sure we know what’s going on in your character’s head. Quirks. More scene descriptions.

Mostly, write, write, write!
Yay, us! Only 5 more days and counting down...
