Going through the last stages of editing my outline and figuring out characters. I am scrambling through this process because beginning at midnight, NaNoWriMo starts. The intensity of butterflies in my stomach matches that of six F-16's breaking the sound barrier. I am nervous and thoughts of doubt keep pulling me back but I am determined to beat them down and show them who is boss!
Writing has never been too difficult for me. But writing with a deadline, now there is the problem. It may be challenging and sometimes even tiring but I feel like this is a story that I want everyone to read.
My story follows a teenage girl who grows into woman-hood with a tragic past and new memories to gain. She loses her parents and her memory to a deadly plane crash. After stumbling away from the site, dazed and confused, she wanders the quiet highways during the night. Eventually she is found and taken to the hospital but no one can place who she is. And so, her new life begins.
This is just the start of my story, and little by little, it is taking form. Sooner or later, these first steps are going to be looked back on as fond memories.
So, even though there is still so much to do, I am taking this last day of freedom, and enjoying time to myself before I finally commit to a blank screen and a world full of words!
