It's been a rough week, and until this afternoon, I haven't written much at all. I'm way behind in my NaNoWriMo count, at 14,500 words.
I'm at the toughest part, which is advancing the plot. I have a pretty good handle on the characters; now I need them to act and for things to happen to them.
My advisory panel has been awesome this week, sharing with me what constitutes "drama" in the life of an 8th grade boy. They've also been willing to share details about what happens to the mother-son relationship as boys get closer to their teens.
So, I'll go back to the work, but before I do, I need to reset my daily word goals. With only 15 days remaining, I need to write 2,365 words a day and I can't skip.
That's gonna be tough.

Truth Be Told Cover
Synopsis: Truth Be Told
A columnist turned stay-at-home mom fills her need for achievement with philanthropy, threatening a fragile relationship with her preteen son.
As the community grows to admire her, the boy begins to hate her for loving her projects more than him.
As the community grows to admire her, the boy begins to hate her for loving her projects more than him.
Then, she dies.
As a tribute to the woman, the newspaper republishes her columns, which she wrote from the perspective of a working mother when her son was just a baby.
The republished columns are excerpts from the author's own real-life working mom blog, which she is still writing today at Balancing Business & Babies.
