I finished my third character today.  Whew.  I gotta still do eight character sketches.

At least I got my outline done.

Lord, help me.

I finished my outline tonight.  I hope I can finish all of my character sketches.  Will I have to do prep work on Saturday?

I am behind.

I am suffering from a crazy headache.  I think it is a sinus infection.  I don't feel up to doing any work.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

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.

This week marks the week I will be doing my NaNo prep.  I am going to try to do my outline, character sketches, and other things this week.  I am hoping that I will have the drive and desire to do it.  If this month is any indication, I don't know. 

I haven't even done any NaNo Icons.  I haven't posted to any of the lists.  I haven't been to the NaNo site, but one time.  I went on Live Journal once this month.  It has been hard.

I know that once I get to working on the story, it will be a lot better.  My ultimate goal this year is to complete the novel.  I still have yet to complete one of these things, although I have won three times.

Here goes the whole kit and caboodle.

My NaNo Phrase for this year..
A NaNoing I go yet again (I ain't even sure my heart is in it, this year !)

I have decided to let everything take place in the city of Alexander, in the state of Maddocha.

That's the city that stood out to me when I was looking at the state map of Maddocha.

The name of the church is Redeemed For Service Baptist Church.  That's all I have at this time.  This thing is going slowly for sure.

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.

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.

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.
