Quite A Bit Of Work Done

I got quite a bit of work done today. I got the Novel Profile/Synopsis done. I also worked on the settings/places.

I started to work on the characters, but I didn't get too far. I am going to work on those tomorrow.

Total Inspiration

I had a total inspiration about the characters. I decided to make the mother of the girls in the story, the first lady of the church. I added the pastor and the mother to the character list.

I still need to work on the church, city, and other locations.

Things are coming along.

Yeah, Images, and Names

I have designed the image for my NaNo. It is looking good, too.

I have the names of the characters as well as the name of the church. I am excited about the image and characters. I am starting to get excited about NaNo this year.

Still More Thoughts

I am still thinking about my NaNo Novel. I haven't done any work on it, but I have some ideas about the characters. I haven't written anything down. I am thinking about using the last name of Nixon or Dixon for the girls. I haven't come up with anything for the preacher yet.

I will keep thinking on this. It's slow, but it's coming along.
