11 November 2008

WOW-zer! I suddenly had this confounding inspiration for a fantasy/sci-fi novel which is burning through me and I had to get it out. So now I'm madly writing it. It's just an amazing feeling. Loving it!

I thought I would use this sudden inspiration for NaNo WriMo. I had no intention of joining this, but I just did yesterday. I'm ten days behind so I gotta get my act together and catch up. I have calculated that if I write 2500 words each day, I will be able to write 50000 words in the twenty days remaining. Oh hell YEA!

2008 Nov 30 - At exactly 11:59PM (my time) I had written 47599 words. I hit the 50023 mark by 1:00AM - the next hour. Luckily NaNo WriMo is set in another time zone so verification was still enabled and I was able to scrape a NaNo WriMo win this year. YIPPEE!
