It’s been awhile

Nanowrimo was an interesting ride this year. I actually finished at about 11:20 pm on November 7–my 23rd birthday. :) By “finished,” of course, I mean I hit 50,000 words. There was still work to be done.

However, my ideas are like wine; they get better with age. It is with that in mind that I put this Nano’s work back on the shelf and continue working on my big projects: Rainbow Covey and Circle of Many Faces. During Nano I wrote an entire chapter of Circle and I managed to squeak out the end of Rainbow Covey chapter 8 this morning.

This Nano has taught me how to produce writing at a good pace again. I remember, before I got sick, I used to be able to do this, and now I finally have it back and it feels so nice.

December will probably be crazy with its unavoidable holiday-ness, but even so, once the new year comes… it’ll be interesting to see where the writing goes.

And at some point, I’ll put more up on this website.

That is really not a good word total for a day there was a write-in, where I should have been doing a lot better. There were a lot of unpleasant events yesterday, though, most of which I would not like to revisit.

I realize how ridiculously out of hand this his. However, I am REALLY enjoying the friendly rivalry (very competitive, but friendly) and getting the ideas down is awesome.

Nanowrimo: Day 1

Ian has become my rival. If I stop writing, he gets ahead. So naturally I had to keep writing. Things got out of hand. But! I earned TWO star stickers.

Nanowrimo: Kickoff night

Stats are fun. This is the first of many posts I’ll be making as to how I did this Nano. I apologize in advance for all the blogspam.
