For those who do not know, NaNoWriMo is a challenge that is to write 50,000 words in a month. The idea is to have at the end of the month completed a novel which will have to polish and fix, but the first draft ready. You have to force you to follow, not to stand to arrange details, it rewrites the novel once it is complete.
This was the first time I have pointed out, though I did a similar exercise in May, when he did not know existed Nanowrimo, this novel was very clear in my head, I had my list of characters and a basic structure how they would go chapters. Wrote an average of 2000 words a day and because I had time for more, was a story that had to count and the result is to leave perfect, but at least it was usable.
Nanowrimo When I spoke of the challenge had begun, I took a week late and I considered doing what she could but did not get 50,000 words. I thought I could, because I had done before, and I did not stop to think too much (I never stop to think too much, ains).

had a basic idea, but the plot and characters were not well defined and that the problems started. The structure is in chaos, the novel lacks coherence everywhere. At first I thought, "Well, I'll fix it later", but finally I saw that it was going to be very difficult to fix because of consistent failures accumulate and accumulate until the end the plot is on very different paths those who had expected.
With the characters I've also had problems, some I lost half a story and yes, I knew that was left aside, but he saw that I did not square with what he was writing, I lost a Chapter three and not know what became of him is in the limbo of the forgotten. Another character I had planned to take more importance has become quite blurred and a secondary character who was to have taken center stage, a figure above that I do not like and I've finished slicing the head.
I have also had problems with gender, trying to make a romantic adventure novel, but right in the beginning that began to drift into fantasy. He wore half and had not gotten even a romantic scene, the action was terrible, do not go dragons (of course! Should have got a dragon!). In short, everything is extremely predictable and boring and completely integrated into any of the three genres.
the end I got the 30,141 words, which I will not be able to use much. Last week in particular was quite depressing, I thought I was wasting my time and it was better to leave and not go, not worth it. In the end I I encouraged her to write the ending, mostly to see how far, not to leave halfway though the novel is not going to serve me for nothing. Discouraged rather write something that you are liking.
is not all bad, taken it as an exercise you used to create you a rhythm of work, to force you to not leave things for tomorrow or distracted with other projects, the dispersion is the great enemy when I write long stories, but for who had actually served something would have taken a month earlier work, structure, plan and take the ropes tied tightly, not start writing like crazy without having a clear direction you go.
