I am also doing NaNo. I have posted a few videos about it. I used to write exclusively in the sci fi genre (actually published a novel,) but I've moved on to mystery. My opinion: it's ok to focus more on plot and character and dialogue in a first draft, then go back in rewrites to take care of swapping cliches for unique imagery. Enjoy. Buddy me if you can stand a mystery-writer-buddy. I'm also buddies with YouTuber Lizardlass, and she is buddies with David John Welman
Also - thanks - that sounds like really useful advice. I am also a little nervous about the weird tech that keeps popping into existence and how it fucks up the logic /plot - but yeah... that's for the third draft maybe....
