Hi! Nixie, here.


Welcome to WDC from
*BalloonR* "Newbie Welcome Wagon" !*BalloonR*


Overall Impression
I've never tried NaNo but the interest is present, and I enjoy reading how others are experiencing it. Somehow, it's in my mind that writers write and don't worry too much about editing. If the realization hit me that my writing was tell not show, well, I'm not sure the resolve would be there to rewrite. Unless you were not too far into the plot.

A few thoughts
Moby Dick is often referred to when learning about writing. Most of the classic works simply can't be modernized for this world, but this dialogue is exquisite. I liked that you explained what you gleaned from studying this. And yes, that's the ideal way to write. Let the character tell the story. Sometimes, during scene writing, I stand up and move around, trying to see where my characters are going, and how my writing will take them there. Other times, I have to be in my character's head, wondering how they would react.

What works best, for me, is to set up immediate conflict between two characters and let them work it out.

Lasting Impression
Since you're writing from experience and seem comfortable modernizing the novel for today's tech kids, I think you've got a strong case here for something worthy of reading. Will this be a YA novel?

Only a few more days until November concludes. I hope you reached your goal. I'm happy you learned something along the way and took time to give other potential writers some insight. We learn from each other. Keep writing!
