NaNo The End
Nov. 30th, 2010 01:56 pm50 246!!!
*cue Hallelujah Chorus, 1812 Overture, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony... you get the idea*
*collapses*
Oooooooh, man! Saturday and Sunday, I thought for sure I would NEVER make it in time. Sorry I haven't been keeping you updated on progress but I simply didn't have time; I was spending every spare second I had, furiously trying to bring my word count up!
*collapses again*
For the record, the novel is not finished. I'm only at chapter 14! But that's an amazing achievement - Company of Ravens has been stuck at single figures for YEARS. Word counting is obviously the way for me to go. And yes, I do intend to finish it. I will take a brief break from writing - I didn't get my chapter-by-chapter outline finished before NaNo began and I will do that now - but then, I'll pick another word target, another time period and to quote Dorey, 'just keep swimming just keep swimming just keep swimming swimming swimming...'
I will post later with my word counts leading up to today and a deeper analysis of the whole experience. Right now, I need lunch.
