For those of you wondering, I did not even come close to 50k in NANOWRIMO. I might have, if I didn't change my mind part way through, and take on an entirely different direction.
I started writing a fictional story about a wayward wizard. Then after about a week, I hit a wall and I lost interest in writing completely. After not writing a single word for about 8 days, another topic hit me in a dream. I wrote my fingers off, trying to get the words out, on the second topic, wrote more with that, than I did the other, but still hit a wall, again. The second wall, was not a writers block, it was an emotional wall, because the words just got too hard to type.
So, needless to say, I did not complete my NANOWRIMO but hope the few that I was cheering on, did.
I started off awesome and then began a part-time seasonal job and got so out of my routine that I could never seem to find time or the gumption to write! Oh well... there is always next year huh?
ReplyDeleteA huge congrats for trying though! Really. 50,000 words get's you... well, 1,000 word essays usually covered around 9-10 double-spaced pages... that would be around 500 pages in a month. Holy Daily Oral Language, Batman! :P If you ever do finish your second attempt, I hope we get to read it. :)
ReplyDelete@Cyn...Congrats on the job! Yep always next year, and I think I will keep on writing the memoirs bit. I will start and stop when it gets too rough for me. 15k words is too much to put to waste.
ReplyDelete@TheBlueFaerie...I use to enjoy writing essays in school. I liked them more than multi-guess. lol
