I'm almost 3/4ths of the way to my goal of 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo and my characters have gotten into quite a few scrapes. But how many scrapes is too many?
So far:
Izzy and Denise (13 yo and 16 yo) have squished themselves into bathroom stalls not once but twice to have cigarettes.
Denise was picked up at a shopping mall for supposedly shoplifting (she didn't).
Izzy, Denise and Rusty (10 yo) get into a food fight at one of the eateries in MK.
Kris and Phil (the Mom and Dad of Izzy, Rusty and Denise) get kicked out of El Rio Del Tiempo for making out.
Denise gets kicked out of the little garden behind the Rose and Crown Pub in Epcot for making out. The mother of the guy she's making out with comes along, grabs him by the shirt collar and drags him off.
Rusty hits a button simply labeled 'Uh Oh' on the driver's console on the monorail, causing them to speed out of control.
Is that too many scrapes for them to get into?
And if it is, how on earth do I decide what to take out and rewrite?
