I had a very interesting day today. I sat in a BigLeagues meeting all day. Most of the people were new to me and the discussion was so heated that there was a bona fide "Cuss Jar". You drop a quarter in every time you drop an F-bomb, or a S-bomb, a GD-bomb, etc... And there was well over 2 bucks at the end of the mtg. That will take some getting used to.
But not as much as getting used to my Main Male NaNoWriMo Character sitting across the table from me. Spitting image of what I had imagined for my novel, brown eyes instead of slate gray, a Maryland accent instead of Scottish - but still. There he was. I couldn't believe it when he walked in the room.
Vey unsettling.
Maybe your character came to life? lol
Hmm, that would be disturbing for me if any of my Male Leads showed up.
Now that I’m married, anyway.

This can give you the plot for next year's Nano. You write a book and send it off to be published. Over the next year you begin to meet your characters and you realize that you're actually the MC. That's disturbing because you off'd her in the last chapter.
So the drama comes as you try to get to the publisher and rewrite the final chapter before it really happens to you.
But it’s not quite the same when the MMNaNoWriMoC says “wooter” for “water” is it?
