Nano-nothing

Day 4 and I've done no more. Haven't even picked up my pencil since Day 1. I'm not sure how this is going to go at this point. Since this is my first venture into the true novel-writing experience, I am not sure exactly how to attack it. I'm worried about coming up with the story before I write it. I've been writing and developing my characters but not sure what is going to happen with them. In a way, I feel like the story will reveal itself to me as I continue to write, and yet, at the same time I want to have some kind of idea. At this rate though, I won't have my 175pg novella by November 30! One thing I am learning (or should I say reinforcing) is that you can not MAKE yourself write just for the sake of writing. You have to be ready to write and WANT to write. I figure that even if I don't complete this project (which a great deal do not) it will at least push me into that mode and give me the experience of writing a short story. And who knows...I may even surprise myself...I am excited to see what is going to happen with my characters. More later.
