Progress

I've now written over 10,000 words of background material for my November novel. I'm planning to add to it daily until NaNoWriMo starts. I'm looking forward to seeing what my final word count will be on the background material! Probably as much as a small novel itself...? ..but we'll see about that.

I got a couple books off my shelf to help with the project:


Dynamic Characters

and:

Fiction Writer's Silent Partner - Out of Print...

I don't really have time to read these but they have lists and I can refer to them for ideas if I need to. Really, I rarely need ideas (I have way too many of my own) but I still find the lists interesting. My character development worksheet came in part from the Dynamic Characters book.
