Skinny Bones

My NaNoWriMo novel has a beginning, middle and end but the scenes are anorexic, they all need fattening up.

Some characters have complex emotions and full backgrounds, like Simone, but others, like her fiancee Thomas, are still two demensional. He walks in, says his lines, feels nothing most of the time, and exits left. LOL.

So I need to overhaul him, make him real and not just a stooge in the Nikolas and Simone love story.

I introduce all the ideas I want to incorporate ( infertility, obligations, sacrifice, religion) but have not expanded on them to the level I feel I need to yet.

Hopefully once I do all that I can turn my 50,000 words into 90,000 and then I will be ready to start draft two.

Last years NaNo novel I did not touch after November 30th. The story had no hope of making it to a publisher's desk but I'm not through with Nikolas and Simone yet. For now, we are in this together, me and them, trudging along and creating a world, a love, a long awaited dream come to life, one page at a time.

Song Lyrics of the Day

let mercy fall me...

take me as You find me

all my fears and failures

fill my life again....

shine your light and

let the whole world see!

we're singing

for the glory

of the risen King
