NaNoWriMo Update

Actually this is more of a gripe that anything else. NaNo is going well so far and hopefully it stays that way, but it's going well despite my efforts. Why, precisely did I bother spending the entire month of October planning this novel if my characters were just going to high jack it at the earliest opportunity? It's now gone from a Modern Day Lovecraftian horror to a Steampunk/Deccopunk-ish horror, and now it's turned into Shadowrun. Yup! Now I have fairy folk like Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs as well as the more Lovecraftian Deep Ones Hybrids, and a completely broken United States. I'm anticipating that the Evil Corporation(tm) will be rearing its ugly head soon enough. And now, my protagonist is unknowingly connected to his client through her deceased husband. Oh yeah. Apparently Knight and Quinn served together in the Cambodian Wars only Knight doesn't quite remember.

I don't know why I don't just pants NaNo, since this happens every single year. Still, the word count is good so far, so maybe I should just let the characters do whatever the hell they want to.
