Danielle! There are hordes of us NANO rebels this year….for myself, I am reimagining and drafting a story that has only ever gotten so far in the past and this year I’m taking it all the way. Yesterday, I wrote a scene from scratch that drew on three separate scenes from earlier drafts. As I watched in horror, the scene laid itself down. Later, I realized it was better (far, far better) for the distillation — and the pressure and the pace of NANO shoved me face first into it, that place I had to be. Sounds like your journey is much the same, in addressing the stories you already have, the accomplishments you want to savor at the end of the month. Best of luck in gathering your stories and ideas into the order you imagine.
