This Story is Actually Going Somewhere!

I just can't wait to get there! I have all these ideas for my novel, plot sequences and exciting happenings that I just can't wait to have happen to my main character, but of course my fingers, and my brain, as so slow. It's not that the in between parts are bad, but I just can't help but anticipate these events which will really change Nola's life forever. Like, right now, she still doesn't know about her magic...or heritage. I'm so excited to reveal it to her, to have something happen to her and see how she reacts to it. Will she be freaked out? Excited? Well, I already have my answer...I know exactly how it will make her feel, considering the climate in France and all over Europe really during the 18th century and before regarding "magic."
Sometimes it feels as if I'm just plodding along, filling space until I can get to those momentous occasions, but then I remember its going to be those middle parts that really make the book, that make it something people will devour and enjoy word by word instead of just put down because it's too slow to develop or not engaging enough to bother continuing.
I have reached 28,000 words now...it's not fully in sequence but it's 28,000 usable words that really add to the story at different times in her life. I just have to string them all together. I figure, if I write 2,000 words per day, plus at least triple that each day this weekend, I could actually get to 50,000 words by the NaNoWriMo deadline (Nov. 30th)!
No problem, right? Ha! Tall order. But most importantly, I'm actually getting somewhere with this story. Can't wait to see where I take it tomorrow night.
I nearly fell asleep over my laptop tonight, mid-thought and mid-sentence! 1 am bedtime last night (morning!) is definitely not conducive to good writing sessions...thankfully, my mom called and woke me up. Thanks Mom! Managed to get a few more words out.
Till tomorrow.
