It’s that day of the year again: 30 November…. the last day of Nanowrimo. The end of the writiest month of the year, the day you’re supposed to have written 50,000 words since the beginning of the month.
I made it of course. I feel a bit snotty for saying ‘of course’, but since this is my tenth Nanowrimo victory in ten years I suppose I am allowed to be a little snotty
Holy shit dude, ten times of Nanowrimo, that means over half a million words. Pretty wild if you ask me. If you would have told me this in October 2002 I probably would have laughed in your face. So yeah, let’s take a moment to contemplate the awesomeness of the achievement. *contemplates*
OK, moving on!
This year I feel like I kind of cheated. You see, I didn’t come up with a completely new plot this year, as I have all the other years. Honestly, I’ve just picked up and rewritten & translated my 2006 project, Through Crystal. I wanted to have the dutch first draft on paper as quickly as possible, so I can start editing, tinkering and fiddling with it to turn it into something that might one day (when the stars align and I shit rainbows) be publishable. If you’ve never read the story before… you’ll find mild spoilers here. So watch out.
