NaNo - Maybe No No?

04/30/2009

So, I took a quick look at the story I did for NaNoWriMo in November. Just the first 2750 words or so. For reasons unknown, the person whose turn it is to provide a story for my writer's group won't be available, and didn't offer up a story, so it suddenly became my turn, and none of the 3 projects I had thought up were ready. However, I did have this story opener complete from my NaNoWriMo story, so I peeled that out, performed a quick, and extremely needed edit on it and sent it to the writer's group.

I am both proud and concerned about this piece of work. I think the concept is cool, and I'm happy with a lot of the "finished" bits, but the opener is supposed to dove-tail into the rest of the NaNoWriMo story, and it doesn't end well enough. The transition wasn't clean either-- it was something I had to work out, but because of time constraints, I didn't get to fixing it. It sounds lame at the end, and that is totally the opposite of what I was going for.

Oh well, that's something my writers group will tell me. It's what they do.
