The plot thickens
This morning the reason my NaNo word count jumped is I finally managed to thrash out some sort of a plot outline with a few sketchy details. In the process I realised where I planned to intersperse some of the blog posts that fit into the book. This is where it gets interesting...
It occured to me that in addition to the main character(s) blogging or emailing I would also involve some comments from the blog. So dear readers this means that in future you too could become part of my NaNoWriMo novel! I have not thought it through - perhaps I have to add an "About Nano" page with all sorts of disclaimers that I retain rights to use comments... I am not sure if that is required, have to look into it if I have time. Of course no comments may come - then I shall have to create my own log ons and make "faked" ones! Oh what a tangled web we weave!
I had to dash then to practice the Elgar - on returning I descended into many matters geeky (reformatting external Hard Drive, finalising laptop recovery and more which I forget)... Before I know it now it's the wee small hours and I am still awaiting the format of the drive (well, it is 320GB!).
So far as I can see the idea still holds water... I shall make a page and paste the writing I have so far into it - this will have notes so that you can get the gist of it. Of course i should warn you that if you intended to read whatever I manage to produce then the notes would give you a pretty good idea what is going to happen!
Rather than pages I could put all the writing to another blog at a different domain (effectively using the blog as a publishing engine of sorts). This idea flies better then pages (although i shall make ONE). BUT it will take up valuable time to implement and I really need to try to focus myself into my writing far more. It is bad enough that I have to drive to Derbyshire to sing the Elgar this weekend, though I'll take the laptop and try to snatch what moments I can for writing (and, of course, making a blog post!).
- maybe even make a page for the Nano book - but that would need some sort of "read more" function built in and i am not at allsure that can be done at page level....
