06 December 2008, Saturday
Here at long last is my overdue blog on my NaNo WriMo experience. NaNo WriMo is over. It was an amazing month. It went by far too quickly, and yes, it was an experience. I absolutely loved it. Of course what I had written is most probably babble and useless, but it was great fun nevertheless.
I managed to scrape a win by the tip of my fingers - never will I leave it to the last minute and attempt to write twenty two thousand words in the last six or so remaining hours - craziness I tell you! It ended with my fingers all frozen and numb, an aching head and very blurry sleep deprived eyes. I've never written so much in one day - not even for assignments. I just typed and typed and typed non stop. It was insane! Not to mention that I can't touch type and that I'm a slow typer (in my personal opinion - I have seen faster).
Now I'm all back to being lazy and back to procrastinating all day while I zoom around the internet (Which is what I have been doing for the last five or so hours). I haven't written a word since NaNo WriMo ended. But I'm trying to get myself right back into it and start writing 1000 words a day. I know thats not very much, but it's better than no progress.
I will be getting back to my historicals now. I miss them so much. No more paranormal or fantasy for a while. I wrote so much I ran out of things about the darn story in the last 10 or so thousands of words - terrible! I guess the para/fantasy genre isn't my fort, but it was so much fun to write it and experience something new. I might get back to my NaNo 2008 story one day. I might even finish it (what are the chances of that ever happening? ...Exactly).
Now I better get back to my writing.
Happy writing everyone.
