So... we are well into the first week of NaNoWriMo and I had not even opend this blog to create a post.
I think I forgot... or maybe I was just too lazy.
I am nearly at 24k now and ... I really like my story... but I still have not figured out my plot and get stuck a lot.
Not to mention the fact that I have test/exams which means that I have to take time off from writing to do that.
I need to do other things do. I wish I could just put my live and the changes and plans that come up and are super scary and slightly stressful on hold.
I want to write. I need a month full of telling stories and doing something I love but which I forget about a lot when things get stressful.
I also need to study and fill out forms and shedule an interview. I want to talk to people even if that is not always easy.
I guess I wrote kind of a lot on the first 3 days (the first 20k actually) and not really much for the next four... but I don't yet have a day where I have not written anything at all and that in spite of tests. So that is great.
Now I will go and write and then go to bed early...

Drake and Josh
Okay. I have done something kind of stupid with my characters.
I named them. I did not think twice about naming them and only when I was already stuck with their names I noticed:
I have a pair of brothers, even though only one of them is the main character.
His name is Joshua but everyone only calls him Josh.
Now I gave him a big brother... who is off to college and does not appear very often.
But when he appeared he needed a name and I named him Drake.
Now everytime they interact I have to write Drake and Josh in the same sentence.
The problem with that is the old nickelodeon show "Drake and Josh" even though my Drake and Josh are nothing like the Drake and Josh in the series (well except they are brothers as well...) and don't even look like them in my head I keep worrying that someone will confuse them.
How I am going to solve that?
I don't know yet but it can wait until revision.
Nearly completly unrelated to that: I am probably going to hit 28k today... or not when I come home way to late.
I will get 27k though and I will try a half an hour wordwar sometime this evening.
