Day Seven: nanowrimo

 Written today: 1,967 words. Total: 12,215. I'm on track but I'm already typing any old words again, hoping for some gold among all that chaff. As is my wont. And I was so determined for this nano to be different. I'd actually done some plotting and planning, a ton of research and still. I am a quarter of the way in and have not hit any so-called "beats", have not developed any backstory or character "flaw" or "need"; I have a "want" for one of the two heroes but the other hero is just sort of moving about, doing first hero's bidding and that's just not good enough. Let's call them prince and scribe. Scribe has no family, no found family, no lodgings, I'm not even sure of his exact job (librarian possibly, but when was he hired, and by whom? And is he maybe a secret spy?).

Sigh.
