Thinking café to scaffold
Nanowrimo wordcount gadget doesn't work. I now have written over 15000 words. Next problem is how to continue. I don't have a plot, I have a complex structure that I want to fill. My writing style is (too?) compact. How do I make my writing more explanatory? I'm going to explain and fill with light descriptions.

I'm participating at Nanowrimo as a rebel. This because I don't write fiction, although what I write is about imagination getting out of control. What is the limit between imagination and non-fiction? This is me about losing my mind and recovering. Thanks to the protection of logical thinking, Mussar and knowledge, not to forget a caring husband.I'm writing in Dutch.
current wordcount (day 5) 11000

This year I went to France with the children. We went at the riverside of the Loire. We enjoyed riding on the cyclorail, a bicycle that rides on the old traintracks. Over a long steel man made bridge, an old military project. Men lost their hearing ability constructing it, the guide said. We enjoyed the natural life with deer approaching our caravan in the early morning. We also visited Sancerre, a village on the top of a hill, with a great view on the grapevine filled 'coteaux'(hillsides) of Sancerre. There were different painters and a six meter fresque at the connetable, depicting a medieval scene with the connetable listening to the tales of a goatherd. I don't know which I prefer, white Sancerre or Pouilly. Usually I'm not fond of white wine, but Sancerre or Pouilly is simply delicious.

"Blood is red!" said the children in the classroom of my daughter. "when it's inside your body it can be blue." I replied. They weren't going to change their opinion. During the arts lesson, many children tried to convince me. They came up with arguments, red is the colour. You can see it, blue is only the colour of the vein, not of the blood.
I touched the story that before the earth was thought to be flat. One of the children started to defend that point of view. They did think it to be a good idea to check internet or to ask a doctor.
