I Won NaNoWriMo!

Well, I did it! :) With 52042 words in one month, I have successfully completed NaNoWriMo. My novel isn't quite finished, I got close, but I still have some scenes to wrap up in my first draft and then start the rewrite. I started the month after deciding about four days prior to give NaNoWriMo a shot and wrote the whole shebang without more then an inkling every now and then of where it was heading. The strangest thing by far was it actually turned out to be exactly what I had said it was going to be in my prologue (don't ask, it was inspiration) and I didn't even realize that I had foretold what it became until I got near the end... mind twister, that. Now to finish my story and begin the rewrite *happy dance*


P.S. Yes I know this is five days late, but since NaNoWriMo ended everything I had been putting off came back times ten to steal away my time ;P

NaNoWriMo - Day Fourteen

When one is in the middle of NaNoWriMo it is not the time to start wondering about the exact dimensions of a building that seems to keep changing. At least that's what I keep reminding myself ;) hmm... built on top of a vortex? might work, it is sort of a Sci-Fi after all...

NaNoWriMo - Day Seven

Some people say when in doubt kill a character. I say when stuck make your main character go through a life changing coma. It may sound like a soap opera, but an unexpected out of the blue coma can liven up any story =P Especially when even the author didn't see it coming...

NaNoWriMo - Day Two

Obviously the second real reason for having NaNoWriMo in November is the end of Daylight's Savings Time. This event tells our minds we now have an extra hour to write even if our bodies are tired.

NaNoWriMo - Day One

Obviously the real reason they picked November for NaNoWriMo is because of the sugar induced creative high that comes with leftover Halloween candy. As I venture into this crazy land of word counts, creative highs and lows, and a story I hadn't even known was waiting to be told before today (or last night), Skittles are my friend.
