Late Bloomer

Ten days into Camp Nanowrimo. Rose is barely past the opening. Not a promising start.

Something is getting bogged down and I can't put my finger on it. Did I start in the wrong place? Did I change too much from the original concept? Is the pacing wrong? Is there something else getting in the way?

I don't know. I think I'm going to push pause today, do some reading, then do some digging and see if I can find the root of the slow start. Maybe I just need to start from the middle and come back to the opening. That's the beauty of rough drafts, you can always come back and fix it. Sometimes that's the hardest part about rough drafts for me, because I don't want to come back and fix it - I want it perfect on the page. This doesn't happen.
