more novel fun

awamibaStill having issues with novel course joy. I can see that further ahead I'll have almost too much to do in one week, but right now there doesn't seem to be enough, so I've been reading ahead each day and am up to the week five assignment now, which has me working on my setting. I know that my first setting is going to be real world stuff & they won't be there long, so I'm not obsessing over that portion, but am obsessing over the place that the kids will travel to, which is hard to plan for because, well, I haven't written it yet. I'm not good with this whole planning thing. On the other hand, I'm not good at finishing complete novels either, so this all about the learning, right?
*sigh*
In other news, have managed to convince two other people to sign up for the course just by being excited about it. That's good. Real life accountability weighs more than just nebulous online person accountability sometimes. I can't just quit writing if there are people that can come to my door and sit on my couch & stare at me until I write. And they would do that, too. It would be unnerving. I'd have to write something, if only to get them off my couch. ;)
