The trouble with even thinking about NaNoWriMo is that I then start to think about the plot-line for the next novel.
If it was a completely new story then I’d probably get away with ignoring the whole thing, but as the next one is supposed to be the third part of the Triangle, then the characters are pre-formed.
It means that they start to do things again of their own accord. It doesn’t help that when I was in the desert a few months ago I had a few ideas pop into my head which would fit nicely into book three.
Or that when I was in a rather agreeable hotel in the middle of Santa Fe I worked out a pretty cool idea for a scene which I’ve not seen anyone do yet.
And don’t get me started on the Vauxhall train station plotline that could be worked into the story. I picked that up when we were delayed on an inbound train to Waterloo.
It means that the characters that I’ve left by the roadside on US Highway 163 in are already on their way to the Utah border and might even pick up some horses to cut across the Colorado Plateau.
It’s all getting out of hand and I haven’t written a single word yet.
Then there's those two Navajo truck drivers who have pulled off the road by Mexican Hat and are transferring all manner of things between what appears to be two almost identical trailers. There’s clearly something going down, and it isn’t just a refreshment stop.
Oh, well maybe just a little peep...

It all sounds very interesting...! Get out that pen and paper...(Or Computer) and start Writing!!
Great pictures!!!
I had completely forgotten it was nanowrimo month.
Funny I was at Mexican Hat end of July. It made me uncomfortable. Thinking about it, it is the opposite of London, isn't it?
