I finished yesterday! Barely under the wire, but I did it.

For now I will ignore the fact that the book is utter crap and just be relieved I managed to not only hit 50k but also finish the story. Corrections, additions, etc can wait until some other time.

Strangely, even more than relieved, I felt rather freed. Now I can write what I want to write, when I want to write it, rather than feel the pressure of forcing out ~1600+ words a day on average.

And I can get back to my neglected WIPs. Yay! :-)

 

50354 / 50000 words. 101% done!

I finally did it! The NaNovel hit 50K words! And I have one scene left to write, and possibly an Epilogue finished it completely. Woot!

Totally terrible and un-postable, but it's a first draft, written hastily. I will not complain!

Final Word Count:  51,227 (for now)

*does happy dance, before collapsing face down on desk*

So since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd give an update. Yes, I'm alive! And my NaNovel has been progressing, if at times excruciatingly, at least I've kept on plugging along. I still can't wait to get back to other writing, but I'll be happy that I've finished.

Just 3 chapters to go too! So the story will finish pretty close to 50K too. (THANK GOD. I want it DONE.) I am totally at the climax now. *snicker*

Current progress: 43.4K/50K

So I'm finally giving NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for the uninitiated) a try this year. Since the premise is you have to write 50K words during the month of November... needless to say I won't be updating Spliced or Scotch during November (unless it was a chapter I had already written this month). I'm gonna try to finish Part 3 of Spliced this month if I can, we'll see though.

As for my NaNoWriMo story, the first line is:

The body on my doorstep changed everything.

It's different from the stories I've posted on here. First off b/c it's written in first person, but it's also a fantasy story. So we'll see how it goes! I shall probably fail spectacularly, but I'll give it a go. ;-)
