Nanowrimo: The Wrap-up

It has been nearly a week since november ended. I haven't thought about Dax or Darbin or Martella or any of those fools. Pretty much as soon as I pulled up my word count last wednesday and saw that I had passed the 50k mark haven't thought about them.

So, instead of writing I knitted all week at work and that made the time fly. Not fast enough. I took many hours off. I hate my job.

For the past few months i've been thinking more and more about the Nano story from 2009. Even though I'm supposed to be thinking about the Prequel and writing all these damned stories in order, but I suppose I really don't have to. I have to go check to see if the thing is completely typed up (Because i know the spaceship story certianly isn't) and then maybe i print it out and then take it to work and read it and edit it and put in the little things i've come up with to make the story better.

And when I get sick of it I'll move on to the next story. and sometime in the far flung future I will finish the entire ridiculous thing... I just have to do it one piece oat a time.

Nanowrimo: Day 30

Done. Bing. knew i could do it, thought i wouldnt be able to though. how long will it be before i come back to it? who knows. it needs stew time, lots of it. maybe forever because its odd and i don't know what i'll do with it, but i'm sure there's some good in there among the bad.

and as promised - the tally of stuff that went on!!!

final word count - 50,026
brand new bic pens completely depleted of ink - 2
cups of iced coffee - 7
gallons of Diet Coke - a million
bags of pretzles - 3
sheets of paper written on - 151

big sigh of relief. we're back to normal life after this, or as normal as it gets. tonight as a celebration i will have sweet potato quesadillas with my favorite cousin and start to panic about christmas just around the corner.

Nanowrimo: Day 29

i should have written more at the coffee shop today, but then i wrote myself up against a wall and i don' t know what to do with this new information.

oh well 2000 words to go and i'll do them when i'm doing laundry tomorrow.

plus tomorrow's final blog post will include an exciting tally of all sorts of things that went on in this past month.

are you excited?

Nanowrimo: Day 28

almost there. almost there.

and i say that in my head the way River Tam says it when she's leading Jayne and her brother toward the back exit out of the hospital -- i say it like a crazy psychic 17 year old schizophrenic... because i'm not just almost to the end of november and the end of the words, but i'm also near the end of my sanity.

we'll see which one i reach first.

just under 5,000 words in 3 days. i think i can get there.

Nanowrimo: Day 27

guh.
