Still no plot

But I'm feeling around the edges of one, maybe. At least I'm getting words down which makes this much better than this time last year.

One thing I have noticed in my various NaNo stories is that when I'm stumped for what to write and it's logical for my characters to eat, or I'm getting hungry myself, they eat and I tend to describe the food. These are the sorts of things that would be cut, logically, but sometimes I think these would also be great places for endnotes and a recipe section at the end of the novel. :D

Oh!!! I like the idea of describing the food and putting recipes at the end of the book. That would be awesome! There is a novel called "The Friday Night Knitting Club" and at the end they have a cookie recipe that one of the characters makes, and they have a knitting pattern for one of the things they make in the novel.
It's a fantastic idea ^_^ You should consider it...would pad your wordcount a bit too ;-)
