mav_fanOnly 4 days into my first NaNoWriMo I'm besieged with doubt. Granted my writing is nothing more than a glorified hobby for me, but it is something I have stuck with for quite awhile. Tonight I am having what seems to me a crippling bout of doubt and I have no idea where it came from.
Okay, so my plot isn't very original, but I like it. A couple renovating the house which they just bought find a diary hidden below the floorboards of one of the bedrooms. It's written by a girl who feels compelled to write a history of the house and property. She does it because her tyrannical grandfather has just killed her brother and passed it off as suicide. She is basically convinced he will end up killing her as well, so she wants to get in writing the truth about her brother and the long history of illegal activities centered around the house, which is on the US/Canadian border in Washington state.
The problem is this, I actually know the ending of the story, and have written the first 6000 words, but I have no idea if I can fill in the middle section of the story. I don't know enough about illegal activities to make it believable. Darn it, if only I had been a delinquent!
No seriously, I think this could develop into a major problem.
