Nanowrimo Time

I've been working on my novel outline for this year's nanowrimo. I've got a plot summary and 2 main character sketches. I need to get my villain sorted out yet and write an outline of the scenes a la snowflake. It's not as though I don't have plenty of work to do, because I do, but I need to be able to start and finish a novel this year as each year that I fail to finish has left me feeling miserable.

I have a feist female reluctant investigator and her friend who runs a missing person's bureau. I have an idea of the villain but am finding it difficult fleshing him out. At the moment he is Jack Devlin a Chicago ( crooked) sports promoter living in south London, and he's behind the disappearance of some local dogs and possibly the death of a local dog walker. I want my investigator to be fooled by his charm to beging with and that is what is making his characterisation difficult, which is why I've decided to leave him for the time being and start on scene outlines in the hope that it will give me more insight into his character. I'll be posting regular updates on my Nano progress here, with occasional forays over here.
