Nanowrimo Day2
Already on the second day of writing, I made a significant change. I added a new character; a Jamaican woman to care for the adolescent while he’s staying at his aunt’s to keep him safe. Originally I had him going with his aunt and her partner, but thinking about, it didn’t seem feasible. So, the new character.
This brings up a question: is writing from an outline or by the seat of your pants better? From my perspective, I think aspects of both should be used. At least that’s the way I do it.
Last year I tried Nanowrimo without an outline, and though I got some good scenes, it didn’t work for me. So this year, I’m back to using an outline. But I’m going to let the characters take charge. Like when Mama Cedra (the Jamaican woman) decided to join the story. This is how I used to do it, years ago when I started writing fiction to vent.
Later when I began to write short stories for publication, I tried to stick to only outlining. But a novel is a different animal from a short, and should be treated as such. So, instead of choosing to be a “plotter” or a “pantser” find what’s comfortable for you and go with it.
I did another chapter today, bringing my total up to a bit over 4,400 words. Still a bit ahead of schedule.
