Fast Fiction

I’ve been thinking about my writing lately. Which is good, because there are large spans of time where I don’t think about it and I worry that makes me a bad writer, or worse, not a writer at all.

Anyway, the point is that I was thinking about my first novel (heehee), The Exchange. I’ve decided to amp up the drama in it and maybe bring it into the 21st century. For those of you who have joined this blog more recently than two years ago, the story centers on a teen girl who reconnects with her father through a series of letters. Of course that doesn’t make sense now, it would be email. So I’ll fix that.

And I think I’ll kill off the grandmother while I’m at it. That way she’ll have a huge hole in her life and it will propel her on her trip to meet him. Grandma won’t die in the car accident. I think it’ll just be a stroke or something rather quick.

So, it looks like I’m in for NaNoEdMo. And the best part is that much of my editing will also be writing, which as we all know is the only fun part about editing.
