Sorry this is going to be such a light weight post but I'm just 7,000 words from completeing my National Novel Writing Month Novel. . . aka my Duller.
I'm finding that in one or two cases I'm going back and adding in scenes that I've forgotten to make my duller more a thriller. I'm not done yet, still several chapters from a climax, but I still find a need to go back and help set things up correctly.
One thing I have noticed about this NaNoWriMo is that I have not limited my reading as I have in the past. I'm even tailoring my reading. I've read a James Bond, Dr. No, and I'm currently reading Hostage by WEB Griffen. I think this is helping. Could also be a contributor to my thriller being less than thrilling, but I'll bring that up another time. The teachable point here is that reading, even when plowing through 50K words is just as important as when you aren't writing.
