The final stretch
16 years ago
Journal Entry I wish I were doing more writing, but unfortunately family is around a lot more right now and we're all doing a lot more things together, so that means I don't have as much time for myself and writing right now.
But needless to say, I'm almost through with my goal of 50,000 words for the month of November. The final stretch is by far the easiest, because you get so motivated seeing it within your grasp, just a few short thousand words away...
To everyone still writing for NaNoWriMo, remember that you'll be able to get through it if you keep it up, if you dedicate time to write, and if you keep that flow going.
And remember that right where you are right now will probably be the toughest part, because it's the middle of the month, you're probably second-guessing one or two of your ideas here and there and asking more questions than writing.
Just keep chuggin' til you get to the 40k mark (or about 80% of whatever personal goal you set in case it's less). That's when the hardest is over.
Anyway... I'm really getting into this story, Waning Heart. It's quite a bit different from what I usually write, but then again, I try to make everything I write a bit different from anything else I've written, so it's sort of to be expected. XD
It's a lot more overtly dark than Fleeting Friendship, but that almost makes it hurt a bit less because it starts out dark and stays that way for a bit. It's supposed to be a rather psychological story, but it is thankfully one that has a gradual progression towards happiness.
Guess we'll have to see heh. I'm really looking forward to finishing Fleeting Friendship to be honest. I'm glad that I decided to not just jump back into it and get some practice again, because that's still gotta be my favorite story... ^^;
Um, yep, well that's about all I'm on about tonight. XD Sorry for wasting your time, but I just felt the urge to yap. :3

Most importantly it sounds like you have your plan to do it. That's always an important thing. Now do you also have the ideas and the passion to write those remaining words? Keep the passion and excitement going, and you'll do it for sure! Have fun with it! ^^
Can't wait to see your story when you're done with it for NaNoWriMo! ^^ Not to mention your shiny purple NaNoWriMo winner bar! :3
Good luck on writing it still! Even if the 50k goal may be out of reach (it's still possible if you go crazy with writing! Like pulling an all-nighter!), certainly keep working on your story throughout December and January. No need to give up just because NaNoWriMo has ended, because one of the most important things about it is the fact that you're bringing a new story to life! So shelfing everything you've done for it would be a mistake. ^^;
