Posting this here to keep me accountable - hopefully.

Just a random plot bunny that I am pantsing as far as I can take it.

Memoir/Cookbook of a travelling cook in a fantasy world, complete with recipes

Day 1 overview:

Only started writing late in the night, after 10PM when i finally figured out what I wanted to do for this NaNo.

Sitting at 1690 words at the moment.

Day 2:

More world building and a couple of smaller chapters. I'm really liking my MC, he seems cool. Found a way to slot this in in a reworked old fantasy world I wrote wayback when, and that gives me a ton of world building I'd already done, and a general plot that I always wanted to follow but never got around to.

I should mention that each chapter contains a recipe, whether that is a real world one, or a fantastical one, as the book is supposed to be a memoir and cookbook/recipe compendium of a famous chef.

Day 3:

Bit of a quiet day, some more world building, about to have our first traumatic moment. Fun!

You are going to love some of your characters because they are you, or some facet of you, and you are going to hate some characters for the same reason.
