I survived NaNoWriMo 2003
Dec. 1st, 2003 06:22 amSomehow, I did. It was fun and exhausting and sometimes really, really stressful, but I did it. By next year I might even be ready to do it again.
My final word count before 11:59 last night was 67,780. Which means I finally caught up, then passed,
bohemienne. Gotcha, sis!
Of course, her novel is much closer to done than mine is. Mine has decided it wants to be a trilogy when it grows up. Somebody shoot me now.
I think I could've gotten farther on the wordcount before the cutoff time, if only the 30th hadn't been a Sunday. i had to sleep, since I have class today. And, last day of NaNo or not, I had to watch Alias. But instead of watching the news I went and wrote for another hour. I could've kept going, but like I said, I needed sleep.
So, the novel's not done, which means I keep writing. I'd like to have it done by, or sometime during the early part of, winter break so Lindsay and I can swap novels for reading and editorial suggestions and other fun stuff. But we'll see how it goes. I've gotta survive finals, too.
But I wrote 67,780 words in a month. Maybe anything really is possible.
