Update:
Right before Nanowrimo started I decided to go with a new story this month, instead of continuing my novel from November. My new story has the working title of "Brown Eyed Bow" and is about 20 year old girl named Bow Montgomery (Like a hair bow).
I'm completely pantsing this one (Pantsing= writing without any clue as to what I'm writing about. No plan). So I'm not entirely sure what this will be about but that's the fun of Nanowrimo, seeing where the story will take you. It can also be a bit stressful at times but I love the challenge.
I'm off to a bit of a slow start this month. I've only written a little over 2,000 words so far (although I haven't written for today yet). I should be at 6,668 for my goal of 50k in one month. I'll get there, I just need to stop getting distracted by other things.
For this story I am wanting to try a few different things. I'm wanting to include different types of writing forms in the story like: blog posts, Facebook status and messages, text messages, letters, journal entries, etc. Plus my main character is a writer and a day dreamer so I want to include some of her stories, daydreams, and poems. I'm trying to go all out on this one and just have fun!
Here is a sample of one of the Facebook statuses of my characters:
Bow posts this after she gets hit in the head with a volleyball because no one saw her. She feels that she is completely invisible.
Bow Montgomery: Being invisible is painful on so many levels!
Bloom Montgomery
Comments:
Bloom Montgomery: Did some one sit on you or throw something at you this time?
Willow Montgomery: You are not invisible to me, Beautiful Bow!
Bow Montgomery
Bow Montgomery: Thanks for the sympathy, Sis! Volley ball to the head.
Bloom Montgomery: Hahahaha again??
Willow Montgomery: Be nice to your sister, Bloom! Are you ok, Bow?
Bow Montgomery: I’m fine Mom but Bloom isn’t gonna be…

I hope everyone is enjoying Camp Nanowrimo so far! If you haven't signed up yet it's still not too late!
