Testing ground

So according to my dance teacher, one of her teachers told her that when experimenting to come up with a new dance you usually keep 1% and throw out the other 99% and that is probably what's going to happen with my NaNo novel. At first, I was looking on it as a very detailed outline for a novel I may write in future, but now I am looking at it as a testing ground to find out what does and doesn't work. I've already decided that one character shouldn't even be there and should have died a year earlier so he mysteriously disappears a third of the way through. In lieu of editing, I'm keeping a separate file with a long list of things that should be changed. I've also found a lot of things I should really research more about before writing about them. Anyway, still writing. Still behind.
