Camp NaNo: Week Three

By the third week of NaNoWriMo, you're either coasting or have come to the conclusion that your story is so patently ridiculous that trying to wrangle it into a proper novel is fruitless. I'm enjoying ride number two.

Its not so ridiculous, I know. There's probably a story in there, but right now I just want to finish this "scrub" draft and get on with it. My early drafts are so dialogue-heavy they read more like scripts than novels. In theory, I don't think this is a bad thing: I'm letting the characters tell the story (so I like to believe), but so much useless chatter. Shut up already.
