NaNoWriMo one week update

Things are actually going well. I am ahead on the word count, for one thing. The novel itself is more satisfying then the previous ones I have written. It has to be because of all the reading I have done in the last year. And, of course, the writing.

There is substance to this novel, something that I think my other attempts were lacking. It is not a genre novel, like the mystery "Please Release Me". It's not a techno-thriller, like "The Fuzzy Mirror". It's not a muddle of family secrets and like the gothic "Midnight Blue". Instead it's literary fiction, and the main character has depth as well as problems to overcome.

Anyway, I hope it continues to go well. I've just gotten the problems stated and the character in the middle of his problems. My original plan may change, of course, it all depends on how things go, but so far things are sticking to my plan.
