I usually like to write monstrous, sprawling novels but I have little faith in my ability at this pont in time so I never finish anything.

I often worry that it's hard to tell my characters apart. I try giving them different ways of speaking or I use different styles to write their chapters. It's quite hard at times.

My characters don't really 'run amok' in my head. But, I do have about seven to eight characters who I keep on the side of things. I draw them If I can't draw anything else. I write about them if I'm not inspired enough to write anything else. They're muses, really.

I'm procrastinating on my last 5000 words

Hey,
I'm a NaNoer, and I have three unfinished manuscripts, but this year...I'm only 5000 words away from having my 50000 word draft! Ultimately, this work needs to be about 60000 so when I'm a Nano "winner" I still won't be completely finished length wise, and then with editing and revision I'm sure I'll have to add some more to keep it in range. Those last few scenes are turning out to be much more difficult to write than I thought though...so I keep finding other things to do instead. :) I have got to push through to the end, so I can start revisions, but I just can't get into it for some reason.

Just got my first novel published, Promises of EVe.

I do have a few problems with my current Suspense novel.
How do I get help in this community? My first novel was a romance I am afraid that writing for the genre may make it harder to write for the stories I read which in themselves are thriller/suspense.

Can I get advice here? Can someone review what I have? Are there fees? Let me know.

I suppose this is the best place to post this comment that is part question.

My main character is walking through the forest with her guide. Said MC is supposed to be meeting up with two other traveling companions in two days. How in the wide world of words do I get my MC two days into the future with walking through a forest and a couple of important dreams?
