Hey everybody! Long time no see.So, I know I said I would be back when I had updated all my story blogs, which happened a few weeks ago, but by that point I had started (and was half way through) a writing project called NaNoWriMo. I believe I talked about it on my one-shots blog when I uploaded the warm up piece I did in the last two days of October.
The basic idea behind NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is to write a 50,000 word novel from scratch between November 1st and November 30th. It's not a competition; everyone who reaches the goal is refered to as a Winner, and gets a certificate and a nifty web badge, but there are no real prizes beyond the satisfaction of having achieved your goal and having a first draft of a novel to brag about to your friends.
Some people have been finished for a while. One of my local MLs (Municipal Liasons) finished by the 14th and went on to write over 75,000 words by the end of the month. I came in with a very respectable total of 50,591 at about half past five this afternoon, and then preceeded to be very smug and pleased with myself. My winner's certificate is already printed out and displayed proudly on my wall.
If you would like to check out my novel, I will posting it chapter by chapter here. I can also set up a blog for it if that would be helpful.
Please let me know what you think by commenting on this post. I would love to hear your views!
See you tomorrow (probably)
