1AM

It's one in the morning, the day before NaNo launches. Why am I still up? Because I was in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Instead, I was trying to spin out the first section of my story. Which quickly led to a host of doubts. What if I get to 15,000 words, and have completely played out my story? what if I write the full 50,000....and its the most boring piece of work ever? (This is a very, very, very real possibility.)

When am I going to find the time to research some of the historical details of my story? Do I need to pick a specific year? What were east coast boarding schools for young girls like? How could I find some floor plans for old victorian homes? How do I figure out what a realistic travel time by train, by stagecoach?

When will I find time to clip my Sunday coupons? Yes, I'm completely serious. I was laying in bed wondering this. It was at this point that I thought I'd get up and go post all these questions on the NaNo forums. the NaNo site is down, and I wanted to get a NaNo blog set up anyway....so here it is.

And, here also are a selection of sites I found, several weeks ago when i was first tossing the character concepts around. I still have no plot mind you, but I have two main characters. And the lack of plot is a frequent plague of mine. I'll have a character concept, but no plot.

Rambling now. Sites here. Hot chocolate good.

Sites not here. Sites not saved. Where sites go? Me no know.

Nora have sites. Me post Nora's sites. Nora good. Computer bad. Me writer.
