Location In Story: Puck is coming into his abilities. He can also give orders to a dragon, now, apparently, which is exciting. He can also talk to animals and make stuf come and go (like telepathy or something). Romeo is a bit jealous of this, to be honest. To be honest again, I am too. That would probably be the coolest thing EVER, to control (or at least give orders to) a dragon.
Surprise of the Day: Puck and the Dragon. And his magic style. And the fact that they can communicate with Demetrius now, since Puck can send and recieve messages on paper, because he can do that.
So that is where I am.
According to the NaNoWriMo Stat counter tracker thingie, I will probably hit 50,000 words tomorrow. Maybe even today. I don't know. It depends on whether or not I hit page 150 today. See, I want to hit 10 pages a day so I can get to the end (finally), but at the same time, I want to be able to tell the story. I don't know how that makes sense. Darn you not-editing-anything challenge!
Okay, let me try this again.
Um... 50,000 words might not be enough to tell the story.
Actually, not MIGHT NOT. It DEFINITELY isn't. And I am trying to hit 10 pages a day from now to the end of the month so I can tell the story to the end, which is a big accomplishment for me. At the same time, it is going to be hard.
Why?
Well, I have suddenly lost interest in my novel.
Puck got the dragon, and it bugged me to no end. I mean, it wasn't the fact that PUCK got the dragon. It's just that Puck got the dragon AND he seems like he's going to be the Reluctant Leader guy who saves the day. But that's supposed to be Romeo.
And also, Romeo's starting to be kind of bitchy, which is kind of annoying as well. I think she's feeling a lot of pressure, or something. I don't really know. But either way, she's kind of annoying right now.
Yeah. I though this was good, but it is going to need a LOT of editing before it can go anywhere. Especially if 'anywhere' means 'a publishing house.' I need more consistency and more life and a lot more other things.
That was horrible grammar. GAH!
Yeah. I need to become a hermit and regain interest in my novel. Or something. But tomorrow's Thanksgiving, and I'll be thankful for the novel itself and the fact that I have an excuse to become a hermit.
I think my problem is that I'm trying to control it too much. I'm trying to guide the story too much instead of trying to let it run its course. Maybe I should give up the challenge. Maybe I should give up the novel. Maybe...
No. I REFUSE to give up now.
Going back to being a hermit. Bye.
