I'm kind of disappointed with my NaNoWriMo efforts. It's been six days and I've only cranked out 3,000 words. At that rate I won't make it to 50,000. Additionally, I'm kind of lost in terms of where I want the story to go.
My idea was to write about a 1930s horror writer, in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth, that whole little circle of obscure "Weird Tales" short story authors. I've written a few exchanges between my author, L.P. Turland, and his editor, and three short stories by him, but it's not going to be enough to sustain the story. At least not without more planning.
And then I think, don't I do enough already? So I resolve to work on accomplishing something else by November 30th, and to post what I have for this story so far.
