It finally happened. Not just one day, but TWO FULL DAYS without adding even one word to my NaNo novel. I would hang my head down in greater shame, but let's look at where I actually am NaNo-wise. This time last year I had already stopped writing for a full week and never picked it back up again. This time the year before, I was probably trying to catch-up to the word goal. I may have dropped the ball for two days, but I had two weeks of amazing! Plus, I pretty much knew that I'd be taking at least one of these two days as a writing hit.
In any event, I made up for it a little today. Pushed my word count past 40,000! So I can still aim for 45,000 for the end of the weekend!
And "vorpal"? If you read the title of this post you might be wondering how "vorpal" fits in. Well, I realized that I hadn't included it in my story. I also realized how it fits in and there may or may not be a vorpal sword that makes a cameo... I don't think it goes snicker-snack though... sorry L.C.
Not looking forward to the ginormous story overhaul that awaits me though. I feel like I should have had more of this sorted before November. Clearly even my characters were fuzzy on the details. I guess that happens when you get overexcited.
10,000 more words to go and then it's another NaNo season done for the year. Will I remember all of the lessons I've learnt this time around? Nope. Pre-NaNo brain is filled with hope, rainbows and sunshine. I'm in Mid-NaNo world, it isn't as pretty. Post-NaNo, however, is simply euphoria! But is also followed by a very big crash about an hour later. Why do I do this every year?!?!?
