Day Five

Day Five. As of last night, I've reached 6,770 words, just a little bit over the daily goal. Today's goal is 8,335.

I found a wonderfully inspiring thread in the NaNo forums yesterday, discussing how people have let their plots and their characters create themselves rather than trying to force them. I find this particularly inspiring because that's something I have a hard time with. I have a tendency to plot madly, carefully design my characters, and then force both to stay that way rather than letting them surprise me. It's probable that I'd be better off doing it the other way.

I have yet to see if I can actually convince myself to let that happen, of course.
