NANOWRIMO begins today, so I've already pitched myself into a not-yet-before outlined novel, but one that has gestated for several years. It first latched into my brain as a visual, something not far off of my own experiences growing up less-than-rich. It is of a migrant worker's wife in a department store, it swirling around her like a top, and she crying at the sight of so many things, and all of them out of her means. This first inkling of a story came about seven years ago. It is not the story, but the basis of one.
Follow along with me here: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/edwardianjackal. Specifically, it is tentatively titled 'La guitarra de Martin Sanchez', with nanowrimo stats here. For past efforts and two completed novels, see Freeway 1979 last year and Filipino Cookbook the year prior.For some tips, if you are on your own journey, my favourite sci-fi blog site, io9.com posted an open thread on how to get started and/or motivated: http://io9.com/open-channel-your-nanowrimo-tips-1739900885.
