post NaNo wrap up
post a comment | posted Dec 4
This year's nano challenge was a real battle. It's getting to the point, after four of these, where I am more confident in what I write in long form. So now it's of more value to me to write and finish a story that I can share with others than just write 50K words. That said, I couldn't not finish in time.The bonus was that I got to listen to my Missy Higgins' cd a dozen times or so while I wrote. I also took some time to procrastinate by recording another song which I hope to add to virb.com/madelinewright soon.I've been exhausted every night since I've finished. I slept for an average of ten hours each night this past weekend and last night I fell asleep at 7:30pm. For a person well under 30, that's just... odd, maybe wrong even! I'm not sick or anything, just unusually sleepy.Whenever I can overcome the urge to collapse into my nice warm bed every time I walk through the front door (which should be any day now), I plan sit down and write out a plot summary so that I can finish the story and not just... have my 50,000+ words.
