4th Day of National Novel Writers’ Month

J.I. Soucie

Mark the fourth day on your calendar as half gone. Thankfully, I was able to get my iPad from my daughter for a while this afternoon and pound out 1820 words for today. I’m so thankful to have reached that word count today. Thank you, Lord, for that! I am trying so hard to reach my word count every day, and so far things have worked out to my advantage to be able to get my word count in and still have time for family and to chill at the end of the day and feel like I have been successful.

Now that I have my word count in, I am going to take a look at the outline for my book and see what needs tweaking. Right now my outline is a mess. lol. Going to try and straighten it out a bit. Wish me luck, outlines can sure tricky.

Best of luck all you NaNoers!

3rd Day of NaNo – Update

J.I. Soucie

Here is 10:51AM and I have surpassed today’s word count. I made up the words I was behind and then some. I have 10% of my novel complete so far and now have just over 5,000 words. I’m doing well so far. How is everyone else meeting their goals? Are you finding it difficult to find encouragement or inspiration each day? How do you get inspired to start your day of NaNo-ing?

I am taking a break for now. I may get back to working on my book later tonight, but we’ll see what all happens in the course of the day. Best of luck everyone!

Story for Camp NaNo

J.I. Soucie

Yesterday the Camp NaNo site went live and I am so happy about that. I have set up my profile and my novel info. Here is the synopsis of the novel I will be working on:

Title: Facade

Synopsis:

Robbie and Keith Pierce are born in Tupelo, Mississippi on June 6, 1935. Robbie goes on to become a rockstar while Keith remains a farmhand. After a few years of touring, Robbie demands a vacation and travels north to New york. He is in New York City but the rush of the city becomes more than Robbie can handle. he longs for quiet and solitude. He jumps in a car and drives into Northern New York. His car breaks down on Sulpher Springs Road. With a leather jacket slung over his shoulder, he walks three miles down the road to the nearest house. This is where Robbie meets Christine Duncan, a good old country girl. Robbie becomes so involved in Christine’s life on the family farm that he pushes his music career out of his mind. He has found something more important to him than music.

Robbie’s brother Keith becomes concerned when Robbie doesn’t come home in the time frame he said he would be home. Keith sets out to find Robbie and tracks him down. Keith is already jealous of Robbie’s fame, but becomes enraged with jealousy when he finds Robbie with a girl (Christine). Keith feels Robbie gets everything so easily when he, Keith, has to fight for everything. Keith gets his brother to return home and continue his singing career saying that he would bring Christine on the next flight back to Tupelo. Robbie agrees to return home. However, Christine is blind to what’s happening. Robbie returns home, but Keith remains at Christine’s side and pretends to be Robbie. At first Christine believes in Keith’s facade, but the longer the relationship goes on, the more Christine sees things that are not characteristic of Robbie. It’s not until Christine watches a television concert at one of her friend’s place does she spot Robbie on TV. It is then she puts things together and uses her friend’s phone and calls Robbie’s home. She leaves a message with Robbie’s dad, but will Robbie receive her message and save Christine from Keith’s destructive grasp?
