Hi, so it is my first time doing Nanowrimo ever (username same as my reddit one if you want to add me as a writing buddy) and I need some advice.

I am nearing 1,000 words right now and my introduction is pretty much all crap. I was aiming for something a bit like Crook's room in Of Mice and Men, but instead it is a pretty sluggish itemised list o' stuff that doesn't really make sense unless I explain it which ends up making the problem worse (for example, one of the key defining parts of the society digital books have replaced physical ones so I want the fact that the MC has several to be a point of note, but it instead feels like I am giving a history lesson about the city in ye olde days that come right the heck out of nowhere)

Oh, and a bit about the main character getting ready for the morning Yawn Not to mention the grammar and spelling is all over the place...

Since I am pantsing this whole thing (in part due to procrastination), I have a vague idea of the inciting action, characters and theme, but no set plan of "this is what happens next".

Also I think the intro might be better if it happened later in the day, closer to when the inciting action happens, rather than spend all this time with background stuff that vaguely hints at the MC’s personality but ends up being more Telling rather than showing.

So here is my dilemma, Part of me is going:

• "You only have 1,000 words, cut your losses here, delete and start over or it will be much harder to do so later when you have 10,000 words, besides you have no idea what comes next to lead it to the inciting incident and if your intro shaky at best, how can you make it the foundation to the rest of your story? "

• The other part is like " Its Nanowrimo, everything is going to be crap, leave it in, besides you are just going to delete it, type some things, hate it and be back where you started”

• the last bit has alarm bells going off asking why the heck I am spending my November trying to turn out a crap novel, but I am ignoring that bit for now :P

I have enough time to redo and get to 1,667 by the end of the day (I type pretty fast) but the question is should I redo it? If not, how to I go on from here? Write my redo regardless? Leave it and move on?

Any Advice is welcome since I have no Idea what I am doing right now :P
