Okay, so I completely failed at NaNoWriMo. Aside from the one day I wrote, the only other progression made was writing an outline. That is extremely unusual for me. What I did write was horrible and to be honest, I wasn't even feeling the outline too much.

After some thought and a discussion with MSatch, I was able to figure it out. This story is BORING! There is nothing spectacular and great and page turning and don't want to even put this book down exciting about this story. It needs something to make it great and I don't know what that is yet.

I felt like in the natural progression of my characters that this story should be next in line. All of my characters are connected in some way. I felt that in order for the reader to get to know these people and want to read about their lives that I would need to write their stories in a particular order. But MSatch pointed something out to me, people don't buy books in order! And I'm thinking as long as the connection is clear, the reader won't care about the order.

So, I'm going to get over this obsession with order and focus on the writing. There are plenty of other stories that I've outlined that are ready to be written. Why hold myself up because I wanted this story to be 2nd and it's not ready?
