...and I didn't even eat ice cream.It took me all day long to get through chapter 9, and it's a relatively short chapter. I'm having trouble because I'm to the point where my MC needs to deal with the things that brought her to Texas, and I don't know how to work in the scenes from the past without making it feel contrived. I've got a Q out on one of the NaNo forums but if you, my uber-talented readers, have thoughts- fire away. There's still a whole lot that will happen in Texas, new things, but she's at the point where the volcano of can't-stuff-it-away-anymore is about to explode. So with that, and um (did you see my new header?) my little distraction today- my word count is tiny.
Today's Numbers, for the curious:
Total Word Count Target: 90,000 edited words
Total Word Count as of today: 19,523
Approximately 21.7% of the goal
NaNoWriMo suggested target (if I were playing by the rules): 50,000
39% of that goal

LOVE the new header. LOVE IT!
Could someone ask about the past? Could she be writing, or reading, a note? Are there things where she is that could trigger a memory or reflection of her past?
Just thinking out loud. praying you through, hun!
What about revisiting the scene of something life changing sort of to tie up loose ends. OR...someone has died leaving her...I dunno, property of some sort in a will....a child/niece or nephew to raise....have no clue, really....
BTW, your blog is looking GREAT, Lynn! Cheering you on in your quest for enormous word count!
