49.1% done with NaNoWriMo
I'm almost to the half-way point. Tonight I added 2,092 words and my new total is 24,535. I always wait and do this in the evening. I guess it is the most natural writing time for me. I'm busy most of the rest of the day.Today my main character, Raoli, had a problem with one girlfriend and climbed a tree with another one. Not too much excitement until the end when they noticed the village was about to be invaded. That's always disturbing.
The novel is only about half-way done. I'd better come up with some new plot twists soon.
I'm almost done reading The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. And today I picked up another book while visiting Nadine down at the Family Resource Center. She has a shelf full of children's novels. I asked her if they get used much, and she said no... which made me feel slightly sad. I was secretly asking to find out if she could use my collection of middle grade and YA novels. But since hers aren't getting used, I'm probably going to list them all on Amazon. I listed three books there earlier this year and two of them sold quickly. I have a goal of getting rid of about half my books during the next six months. If they don't sell on Amazon, I'll give them to the local second hand store.
