Posting this here to keep me accountable - hopefully.

Just a random plot bunny that I am pantsing as far as I can take it.

Memoir/Cookbook of a travelling cook in a fantasy world, complete with recipes

Day 1 overview:

Only started writing late in the night, after 10PM when i finally figured out what I wanted to do for this NaNo.

Sitting at 1690 words at the moment.

Day 2:

More world building and a couple of smaller chapters. I'm really liking my MC, he seems cool. Found a way to slot this in in a reworked old fantasy world I wrote wayback when, and that gives me a ton of world building I'd already done, and a general plot that I always wanted to follow but never got around to.

I should mention that each chapter contains a recipe, whether that is a real world one, or a fantastical one, as the book is supposed to be a memoir and cookbook/recipe compendium of a famous chef.

WC: 3645.

Day 3:

Bit of a quiet day, some more world building, about to have our first traumatic moment. Fun!

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
