Nano Breakthrough A-GoGo
Nano Breakthrough. I've nailed the MC.
Now I know how he gets into the mess that starts the Weird Chain Of Events that I'm going to nano about.
Instead of writing the plot, and trying to fit the characters into the plot, I went back to basics. Develop the characters first. As soon as I understood the MC, he decided himself how he would wind up in the wrong place at the wrong time. How odd.
Also - I'm thinking of submitting some nano warm-up pieces to a writing community where they can be ripped apart by the crit sharks that live there. Any recommendations?
