More on NaNoWriMo

I've actually been keeping to my schedule of 500 words per day. It's been fun so far as I let my character guide me as to what comes next (that and the latest news stories about on-line predators using the chat rooms to find their victims.) I am refusing to do any research other than what I hear or already (think) I know, just letting my imagination fill in the gaps for now, knowing that, in the future, if I end up with something that I truly like (when I get to that magical 50,000 words or so) I can do the research then. But, I am turning off my left brain editor that requires me to constantly stop and ponder, then ties my feet up so that I can't proceed because "I haven't resolved a conflict...." I will write my story the way it wishes to be written and worry about the facts later. So far, seems to be working. No hitches. (And I refuse to sit down and try to parse out a plot at this point, let my mind wander ahead to possibilities, but refuse to put anything rigidly in a timeframe on paper.) I'll let my story tell itself.
