A DREAM – A STORY – A JOURNEY
Two things about the story I will write for NaNoWriMo are certain so far: who my main character is and the setting of my story. The setting of the story is set as far as where I want the story to start and where my main character will be most of the time in this... Continue Reading →
I've been writing this week, filling in gaps and steadily completing manuscript 1. One of the chapters I've been working on in act 2 is key in understanding why and how one of my characters is different than everyone else in their world.
