Having gotten past the mid-point of NaNo, I’m feeling better about meeting the target goal. Writing is coming more easily now, as I have gotten a lot more comfortable with pushing through scenes knowing that I will have to go back and re-write much of my earlier writing. Though the words are coming more easily, it’s hard to ignore the growing list of (sometimes major) rewrites I want to implement after completing the first draft.
Did not get as much writing done as I wanted, but feeling okay with what I managed to complete. It could be because I officially got Mia out of Korihana (putting her in direct conflict with another character that was originally going to be a trusted ally – not sure I’m happy with the turn of trust, but I won’t be able to say for sure until the draft is done).
Clearly pushing close to the third act, and I have managed to get Mia in Pine Peak, where she will meet Kenji and Sora. Pondering whether I can (or should) maintain a single POV for Mia’s novel. It could be interesting to throw Sora and Kenji’s POV’s into the mix, although doing so makes me wonder whether I should introduce other POV’s earlier in the Mia novel (say, Kasuga and Taimu).
Futures of Entertainment 4 Conference officially starts tomorrow – will definitely get some great ideas about transmedia storytelling but not sure about writing!
