Okay, so my Novel is becoming very strange. characters I never intended to include (characters that did not actually exist) are becoming more prominent and seizing wordcount. There is now a key as a crucial part of the mystery, but I don't know what it opens. There is a definite secret society type thing going on and I vaguely know what they do, but I'm not entirely sure. THere is also a half eaten letter that imparts information to the protagonist that may or may not be a red herring. I don't know...
Oh, and a glowing turtle called Awkward actually became a plot point.
I have a slutty ghost, a flirtatious bounty hunter and a fortune teller who is not as big a ditz as I thought. There's a mysterious man in black who is suddenly taking over and I'm not sure who he is - is he the bad guy? Is he the Prince in disguise? Is he never going to show up again and merely a convenient ploy for word count? What was the meaning of the fortune that she told for him? Why was chicken blood involved and do the gods actually exist? What caused my FMC to run off and what does it have to do with the ghost? Why did the fortune teller come to the city? Is she involved in the conspiracy?
I have more questions about my plot now than I did when I started writing. There's no way I'm going to get all these loose ends tied up.
Oh, and another question: why am I concurrently writing Nano and epic!fanfic?
Answers on a postcard please.
Also - I went to see Quantum of Solace yesterday. I was surprised to find that I quite enjoyed it. Heh, maybe Daniel Craig does make a reasonable Bond. There were still things I didn't find particularly good and it was still a bit more action hero and a little less Bond, but there were some brilliant Bond moments. I approve. ^_^ I think Craig's settling into the role alright, and I love the Bond-M relationship (no, not like that... for once my mind is not in the gutter).
