As I mentioned three days ago, I started NaNoWriMo this year. I plan to write a completely new novel. Well, I started off somewhat bareheaded. That is, I barely had any idea what to write about. This time, I didn’t want to write another coming-of-age novel featuring young teenage girls based on me and my friends from high school. I was thinking more to the direction of a grown-up heroine who will need to go on a quest of some sort and overcome old traumas. 
Every day I have been behind the word count necessary to make it on time. Because it’s still early in the month, I hope I will catch up before the end of this week. Today I got slightly stressed by the realisation that I have typed 3500 word out of the 6600 I needed. So, you see, halfway late.
The story itself started somewhere, then I found my main character actually lives in a shockingly different place. I’m afraid there will be some discrepancy or a sense of dissonance in the readers’ minds. Ah, well, what can I do? As we WriMo-ers know, the rule is “Write now, edit later.” I plan to stick to it. The difficult part is the need to start some action. I am hardly an action writer, so it takes me forever to write the action. At nearly 4900 words I am still getting ready to do it.
OK, this was the update for now. Come back later for more.
