A month-long novel-planning challenge. Looking for a NaNoWriMo alternative? Start here!

So, I sat down to write a plot background story, and ended up writing a stream-of-consciousness piece set after the main events of the story.

My brain can be quite contrary sometimes.

I haven't entered it into the contest, because it doesn't match the contest prompt anymore; but it did help me to define the theme and scope of the larger story, so I'm happy with it. Hooray for contrary brains?

Has anyone else been surprised by their own response to any of the prompts this month?

Don't worry, Kell Willsen Author IconMail Icon, not only your brain goes weird ways*Laugh*

Especially my FMC's profile is a striking contradiction. But then again, she's one contradictory gal.*Pthb* *Idea*

Back to your Contest Story. I'd say as long as it satisfies you and helps get things straight for writing the actual story in November, it's a Winner*ThumbsUpL*... just not in the contest competition.*Idea*

I may not say it but I'm entering my (grammarly / content-polished Antagonist story once more... because it way better fits this week's prompt as it literally sets up the plot of the crime part of my novel. (It's part about the criminal case MMC investigates, and the rocky romance blossoming between him and FMC*HeartBroken* => *Heart*)

I have had in my short story where I veered off the outline. It ended suddenly. I have the makings to a sequel with my plot background story. He sets off the plot by one action. I need to think, does resurrecting someone cancels an even bigger spell or would that spell still work?
