NaNoWriMo: Day 5

Major goal for this year: try for a beginning, middle, and end.

Last year's effort, while fun, resulted in something like that script Ricky Gervais "finds in a treasure chest" in The Invention of Lying; while full of exciting events, they don't really hang together (e.g., humans attended a wedding on Mars during the 14th century) and the transitions were abrupt to say the least. Not that I noticed this problem with my fledging novel of 2008 until after I re-read parts of it in December to determine if it was worth crafting into a real book. Remember, editing is anathema to NaNoWriMo-ers!

Now get back to your notebook/computer/smart phone/scrap paper and crayons and finish your daily word count!
