Untitled...still.

Yay! So...I finally got my NaNoWriMo blog set up. Obviously, since you're here and reading it, you would know this. lol

Since it is not yet November 1st...I haven't started on my novel. I'm not planning on staying up until crazy hours of the morning, running on caffeine, or anything like that. In fact, I probably won't get my 50,000 words in November. It may take November AND December. But the fact is, I want to participate and at least TRY. So...I am!

My info so far...and my user on NaNo is piano_chick993, if anyone wants to befriend me :)

Working Title: -
Genre: Mystery
Projected Word Count: At the end...it'll probably be around 50,000.

AT THE START DO YOU:

Have an outline? Nope, not yet.
Scene-by-scene? I have a couple of scenes in my head so far...
Know how it ends? Mm...not yet :)
Have your climax in order? Nope, still thinkin.
Know your main characters yet? Yes, I do...they're my best friends ;)

IS YOUR WORK GOING TO BE:

Funny? Perhaps.
Sad? Yeah.
Semi-Autobiographical? Pff, no.
Based on another story? Not that I know of...

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU PLANNED? Have you used:

A paper journal? Yes
Multicolored pens? yup
A computer? Yes
Index cards? nope
Bulleted lists? yes
Plot charts? no
Character charts? yes
Character formulas? no
Favorite writing sources? ?

ODDS AND ENDS:

A line you would like to use: Notta clue.
A scene you would like to include: Definitely a chase scene. Those rock.
A concept you would like to explore: Not sure...yet
A cliché you would like to avoid: Again, not sure.
A character you would like to use: A super haughty private investigator who has absolutely no acceptance of the fact that my main character is 20x smarter than he is ;)

FORWARD THINKING:

Do you expect to be able to complete it? Someday...probably not for NaNo though.
Do you intend to complete it? Of course.
Would you ever try to publish it? Perhaps...depends on how good it is.
What do you expect to get out of this month of frantic writing? A FINISHED, original story...for once. (the only things that I finish are fanfics. lol)

As you can see...my story is still in its baby stage...still interviewing some characters and thinking about a plot...but it's gonna be cool :)
