My series of stories takes place from about 1997 to 2012, but there’s a gap in the timeline from about 2000 to 2002. Trying to fill in the gap leads me into many daydreams, in which I think about what the characters might have been doing after one story and before another. I consider all the loose ends that haven’t yet been tied up.
All that daydreaming led to an idea for Camp NaNoWriMo. I have my main character, who had been a minor character in two other stories, I have my basic plot, and I have a working title. Now I just have to outline a few scenes, and I’ll be well on my way to 22,500 words for April. If I don’t finish the story by the end of the month (and if inspiration persists), I’ll continue it in July.
Sounds like a plan so far, but let’s see how many obstacles I run into while trying to achieve the goal. :)
