My NaNoWriMo total is at around 9000 now. That’s a solid jump forward from yesterday. I’m still behind the medium pace, but at least I’m getting closer. I’m hoping for some more good progress tonight. For today’s quick tips I am going to give you:

- Introduce a new character
- Solve a problem

- Have a character change their mind about something important
