Aaaargh!!! Sometimes, the best plotted and thought out story contains the seed of disaster. Last night, in the middle of a good sleep, I was awakened by the thought that I had missed something important. When I got back to my beautiful 2008 NaNo manuscript, I found it--a plot hole big enough to drive my computer through.
How many AW NaNo-ites have read what you've written? How many of you have found holes in your "logic?" How many of you are beating your head on your keyboard trying to figure out where & how to solve them?
My simple problem-- Both my MMC and FMC have separate houses where they live alone. The MMC is 'involved' with the woman next door (my antagonist). The MMC and FMC really need to get their thingies together, but I'VE KEPT THEM AWAY FROM EACH OTHER'S HOUSE FOR NO GOOD REASON!!! AAARRGGH! Somehow I must find reasons why they've never 'visited' each other at their houses, only at their jobs.
I think that by the time I fill the hole I'll have written another 10-15K. But, I'm not giving my certificate back -- It's already hung on the wall.
Other than this, I'm having a really quiet, peaceful, rainy morning.
