I was hesitant to participate in Nanowrimo, this year. Not long ago, I felt uninspired. It changed this past Saturday. I remembered that I do have an unwritten story. I don't know why I forgot, or why I remembered. How strange the brain makes connection, or how it remember.
I have an idea on how it stat, an idea for the middle and how it will end. The main problem is linking all the dots. I am the type to outline my stories before beginning. I tired free form stories making along the way. Fun to try but not every time I do nanowrimo. It is not always easy to find ideas under pressure of time. Especially for stories. It is not easy to go where I wanted to go. Ideas for plot line can be complex. Getting the threads right is not always easy. If I do free form, I am not sure I will have good result with this story. If I do nanowrimo with the story, I want to be more prepare, this year.
The last story of a free form was a bit trying. I didn't knew where to go for the story, a goal for the end. I had a very good idea for the story. I just didn't knew how to end it. I also lack a bit of spice. Everything in the story was going a bit too much smoothly. For the present story, the one I want to do, I want to go further with the plot line. Would be great if I could put the characters into hardship. I want to do a story that have a lift.
I will put down the ideas I already have. I will see if the story will unfold in the usual way. The usual way, for me, being ideas from various sources: being in the shower, in dreams, etc... Maybe I need a few days of brainstorming to fill the biggest gap. It can take time to evolve into a rich filled story. I'll see if a few days can be enough to have materials for 50 000 words.
