So far, NaNoWriMo is slipping by flawlessly. Of course, this *is* only the 5th day, but it seems to be going well. I hit 4500 words earlier today, so I'm right on schedule. It's following my outline well, and I've only had a minor character change so far.
Tonight I just thought I'd share some bits'n'pieces from my story, and some of my inspirations (via Pinterest).
Here goes.
"Trains roared through the station and people filed by us. To them, we were two children sitting on a bench. Perhaps we were waiting for a parent to come home on a train. Maybe we had come on a train and were waiting for someone to pick us up. I don't think anyone ever assumed correctly—that we were two children, all alone in the huge world, talking about our dear deceased parents and wishing someone would show interest in us."
"A feeling almost like liberation spread through my chest, though at the same time I was sad for Aunt Lillian."
"Bridgett, promise me that you'll never work in a factory, Mama had said. Promise me. Even if you're out of food, and have no money, please promise me you'll never work in a factory. Factory jobs are practically a death sentence, and you'll have to be there to watch out for Tommy.I knew I could never work in a factory—I'd feel horrible breaking my promise to Mama. But I wouldn't tell Aunt Lillian that."
"I was only 13 years old, his only living relative, and completely responsible for him now."And now, my inspirations, via Pinterest.
By now, you probably have a pretty good idea what the main conflict of my novel is. Oh, well.
