Those last 14,000 words were basically the rough outline of a project that I’m now building in my snowflake method software, because I’m finally at the point where this is my last ‘free’ day for several weeks. Not because I neglected anything else, but because I’m basically looking at needing to deal with several important projects over the next month or so. And then we have Yule/x-Mas, and Uni and a dozen other things to look at. It’s all very secret and hush hush, but one launches on the 6th – and you don’t need to go anywhere to keep up with the salient parts.
But that’s my Nanowrimo this year.
My experiences
The Nanowrimo this year was an odd experience. I enjoyed it, but instead of being happy, and working down with my happiness, and slowly whittling into that store of happiness to fuel the run. This year I started low and have ended up with a refilled well for my writing. It’s just a pity, right now, that I can’t work on the things that I’ve got planned. I’ve got plenty of editing and solid starts for some great books though. I hope everyone else’s Nano went well.
Where now?
This blog started talking about the Nanowrimo – but from here, it’s going to slowly start picking up everything I write, and talk about. I’m really looking forward to introducing everyone to the rest of my world 🙂 Anyone got requests?
