Forum: Team Green NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon

Okay, so it's a brisk and breezy day here in Idaho. I rolled out of bed at about 6 a. m., actually, since I hadn't fallen backward before crawling into bed last night, it was really about 5 a. m. I started the coffee, let the critters out,, went to the office, fired up my trusty computer, logged onto my e-mail account; while that loaded, I returned to the kitchen poured my first (of many) cuppa, let the critters back in, boned the dog, topped of the cats chow bowl, and refilled the universal water bowl for the critters. Cuppa in hand, I wandered back to the office, trashed junk mail, scanned the other messages for anything important; nothing important was there, whew. I started my Word program and, over the next four hours I was cranking out words in a frenzy of chaotic inspiration. I suddenly hit a brick wall. My NaNo novel screamed, "Right turn, NOW! You need a play here; get to it!" I felt like an orangutang perched in the side car of Clint Eastwood's motorcycle racing down the writing highway. Uht oh, I don't know the first thing about constructing a play. I tried to ignore that urgent demand, came over to WdC, looked for review requests from newbies, read and reviewed a couple. I am frantically researching for basic play structure. Sigh... Oh, well, Bronco's are at New England, maybe I'll watch the game.

Wishing everyone an easy and flowing writing day! Be well and take care. Lisa
