I go into the library to write and people ask me, "How's NaNoWriMo going?" or my NaNoWriMo buddy will say, "It looks like you're keeping on track." It's hard to give a simple answer to people who know I am trying to complete a novel or 50,000 words in one month. It's almost the halfway point. How am I doing?
I've thought a lot about this today. My goal has been to find the narrator's voice. I have the story. Once I can find that voice I think it will all fall into place. At least that is how it happens in my head. I originally started with one idea that I thought was going okay. It wasn't a slam dunk, but it was working okay. My narrator was telling the story. The problem, again, was that his personality was not coming through. I was missing his voice.
