nanowrimo day 27 :::

Posted 27 Nov 2009 in NaNoWriMo

It’s nearly over, and by jove I think I might actually ‘win’ NaNoWriMo this year. After a surprisingly productive couple of writing sessions today my wordcount stands at 40,591 with three days to go.

It hasn’t been easy. A few days ago my already bleak-ish story started getting worse, to the point where I felt miserable just thinking about what I was subjecting the characters to. Playing Creator is a lot of responsibility! I really had to step back and assess where the story was going and the tried and tested technique of adding in a love interest completely saved me. Thanks Natasha, I owe it all to you.

Of course, this November had to be just as busy as the rest of my stupidly busy year so far, making it even harder to keep my novel going, but I’m really determined to finish now. After all, I have the weekend to do it…around visiting a lovely new baby, editing videos, seeing a play and oh – eating and sleeping ;)

I’m still uploading the novel chapter by chapter here as I go along, so feel free to take a look. I’ll leave it up for a little while after NaNo is over and then I’ll be considering the possibility of a second draft early next year. Why not!

    Awesome! November has been such a creative kickstart for so many people it seems, wish there were initiatives like this for every month! Well done!
