National Novel Writer's Month

I've been hanging around for the last few days but this is my first NaNo, so I'm pretty new. I'm 16, female, and writing fanfiction for 'Of Mice and Men' for this year's NaNoWrimo. The story itself is untitled right now, as I want to finish it before I name it. It takes place from 1930 to 1932/33 in California, chronicling the events from the time of Lennie's Aunt Clara's death to the start of the novella; it follows George and Lennie's path from Auburn, to Sacramento, to Weed, and finally to Soledad. While its secondary characters are all original, it it mostly delving into canonical events of George and Lennie's lives, such as their going to a fair in Sacramento, George almost drowning Lennie, and their meeting the sickly old couple that will sell them the farm of their dreams.
