Gosh, I hope so. Frankly, I’m getting rather sick of Padmé and Ian and Anakin and Dooku and Yoda right now. :P I’ve tried righting from the lesser character’s POV just to change things around and I’m still tired. I’m wondering if the 50,000 word count is not making me make the story longer than it ought to be.
So glad to know that I'm not the only one feelign that way. There's a part of me that's dreading the editing to follow like the plague. Absolutely dreading it. I have one major sub-plot that was seriously retconned that I literally need to rewrite. Then the characterization of Jocasta keeps changing because I haven't decided which voice works best for the story.
*g* I've adopted non-grinning Bingley as the face of my hero in my Nano attempt this year, so looking at him is my attempt to get a bit of inspiration back :)
Oooh, in that case...
I guess this cartoon!Padmé might be the closest thing to the face of my heroine. She rarely wore her hair in braids as a Senator, so if you squint, you may just see plain ol' Lady Naberrie in this icon instead of Senator Amidala.
But if you don't really have enough story for the word count, you could always finish the story and then start a second to make up the difference :) No one would know, and you'd have written two stories.
Wow, can I do that? Without going back to edit the first one first?
That new unexpected subplot is a great idea. Maybe I'll write the romantic backstory, or even the crime as commited by the criminal from his/her perspective.
You can do it... Just find some fun in it. Maybe go back through the ideas you had when you were coming up with something to write for this month and see what sort of ideas you haven't incorporated yet that you could use, to maybe come up with a new subplot that way?
A little yes. :P But I'm really proud of you - and I said so in your entry. Hi Fives!

That's what I'll do. I'm thinking of writing more from the murderer's perspective...
Sorry - what I was trying to say is that in the end, no matter how many things you end up not liking about the story, I'll bet MANY GALACTIC CREDITS that you will find nuggets of gold amid the dross - wonderful ideas, descriptions, characters, lines of dialogue, scenes - whatever - that you can use later in different ways.
