2019 Pre NANOWRIMO Blog for THE KEY to Mnau

I'm going to dive into my second novel this November. I have a workable outline of where this story should go and I'm hoping I can stumble upon some vile acts for my major villain. I had to revise the ending of novel#1 "The Gravity Key", to make it more open-ended. My brother came up with a  wonderful and stunning idea for the original ending, (and I'm going to use that idea in the new book) but I found that it locked me into a storyline that I couldn't write.
The Gravity Key needed serious editing because my editor didn't do a great job and there were some terrible typos. So, I'm fixing them, doing a few minor changes and adding suggestions from the writing group I joined.

 My pre NANO checklist includes

1. Find a writing buddy to make me accountable. To reach the goal of 50k words I'll need to average 2000 words a day if I want time off for Thanksgiving.
2. Clean my desk space in the laundry room, and make the kids take their laundry elsewhere. 
3. Pretty the desk up and add a candle.
4. Pre-plan the meals. Shop early for Thanksgiving.
5. Think up five deranged and sick things for the villain to do. (ask Twitter friends) 
1. Thank you, Peter: A little troll that messes with the sun and causes the planet to overheat.
2. Thank you Gray One: A couchie parasite that causes errogenous feelings.
