I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD!

Yes, that's right, I just wrote over 8,500 words in one night. Are they good? Oh, hell no. This is probably the roughest draft I've ever created of ANYTHING, ever. But I got it all down, even ended the story, though I wound up summing up a lot. I don't care. I have lots of author's notes the whole way through with ideas for how to re-write. This thing is a goldmine that I will eventually turn into a finished draft. But it is 50K long, and a complete story from start to finish, and I am a whole two or three days ahead of the game.

I am free, FREE! (... to do work on school projects. Crap.)

Now I'm going to go collapse.

In conclusion: cousins I WIN. Thank you, and goodnight.

Yeah, clawfoot has had to forego NaNo lately because of school commitments. I was really torn about doing it this year, but decided not to in the end. I have nothing fixed like University, but my life is just stupidly hectic these days. I kind of left it open to starting, but didn't have a moment in which to write for the first two weeks anyway.

My original plan this year was to finish in about half the month, which I probably could have done, but I'm a little bit glad that I just opted for a slightly more regular writing schedule throughout the whole month. I think that writing a little something every day is a goal I'm going to give myself for the next year. I'm not going to hold myself to any particularities, like only writing short stories, only writing to certain themes, or writing a certain number of words. Just... something. Every day.

Maybe next year your life won't be so hectic and you can make a grand return to the land of NaNo. If that's what you want to do. Or maybe some other interesting project will come along.
