This isn’t my first attempt at writing fiction, but it’s already my most successful. I think that’s partially because I spent a fair amount of time in October brainstorming my backstory and setting, as well as plotting my story. I didn’t end up with a complete outline of the plot as I had intended, but the work I put in has definitely been beneficial so far.

You can follow my progress on my NaNoWriMo user page or check back here for updates. I’ll put a “Word Count Widget” in the sidebar on the front page once the NaNo folks finally get them working.
