And it's only 2:15PM. I'll probably get some more work done today but probably not on my NaNoWriMo novel. So we won't count those!

I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall on the NaNoWriMo novel. At this point, it's just me following random points in an attempt to get all the words down. It's highly discouraging. I should probably go over the outline again and see if I can pick up the thread of my story again.

Last year I didn't have an outline when I did NaNoWriMo. This year, I decided to try the outline thing. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like having the outline to look at but I've already deviated so much that it's kind of pointless.  I think it also sort of stifled my "fluidity," if that makes sense. 

I felt like last year I was able to do whatever I wanted, no matter what it was. But now I feel like I have a script to follow. We'll finish this NaNoWriMo with the outline and then re-evaluate. I might never outline again...
