I had a bit of a problem with Characters high jacking my story this evening. Tricia insisted on going someplace I really didn't want her to go. I even tried stopping her and changing it, but she would have none of it. ::sigh:: Writer problems.

With only one day to go. I have written 48,000 words for NaNoWriMo.. 41,000 of it on Princess and the Plague: Erika's next chapter.
14 episodes are in the bank. with posting one a week. that is more than 3 months worth. The other 7,000 were a horrible attempt at recreating 20 pages that I had lost of Healing a Princess. I'm almost back to where it was, but it is no where near as good as the original

I'll be going on a business trip Wednesday through Tuesday. So I may post the second episode of Erika's Next Chapter in a day or two.

Hope you all are enjoying Camp Kumoni, and Princess and the Plague.

A.A.

It happens.

A character sometimes takes over your story. That's really your muse in action, and I recommend going with the flow. There's always revision in the near future, if you want to shove things back on your track.

I have a friend (not on this site or any TG site) who tries to write every NaNoWriMo. I'm not sure how far she got this month.
