NaNoWriMo success!
16 years ago
Journal Entry Early this morning, after pulling an all-nighter and trying to crank out those last few thousand words (stayed up too late chatting rather than writing lol), I managed to break the 50,000 threshold for my NaNoWriMo story. It officially broke 50k at just past 7:00am.
My word count now stands at 50,036, just barely over that magic number. Because of that, my bar on NaNoWriMo turned green and it symbolizes my success for the second year in a row. :3
I don't think the pride sets in until a day or two has passed, but already I feel pretty accomplished that I managed to write another 50k word story! That actually makes it my 5th story with at least 50k* words in it (*Her Biggest Fan and A Friend Indeed were like 49k or something, so close enough). Hard to believe, but pretty cool nonetheless! :3
Ironically it took me almost the exact same amount of time to write 52,700~ words for Fleeting Friendship last year, so my pace was roughly the same. Interesting!
But just because I've passed that magic number doesn't mean the story is done. Nope, still far from it! I'm gonna keep working on it til the end of November and I'll see how far I can take it. :3 I might not finish the whole thing in this month, but I'll definitely get a good chunk done.
As it stands right now, I've just entered the fourth major plot arc. I have just one more major plot arc left after that, so that means there will be a total of five and I've got two to write still. Then it's done. :3
I haven't broken up the story into chapters yet and I'm not quite sure how I want to go about doing it. Possibly two chapters per plot arc, give or take, or possibly just crank out really long chapters that are sort of standalone in a way. Hmmm... XD
Well um, we've still got a few days left to work on NaNoWriMo! I'm wishing all of you working on your stories good luck! Get those creative juices flowing, try and dedicate some time for a nice good writing session or two, and maybe you'll have some time around Thanksgiving to do some catch-up writing.
And even if you don't meet the goal of 50k, you should still be extremely happy with the fact that you went out and started writing something great! Finish it. Don't shelf it just because November is over. Finish it! :3

I wish I could join you in celebrating the occaision, but I've got a bit of sulking to do |3
I'm way behind now, too much distractions. |3
Weird enough, I got a 4,7k word story done what was a long ago request by an friend. x3
Well, I had to make some changes for my story... 10 was a little too young for a hentai story... made all peeps 3 years older, to fit into the included back story. <.<;
Also, I'm slowly near the end of chapter III. Chapter IV ahead. x3
I have 16,883 atm. =0
(NaNoWriMo adds 2 more words , I have no clue why. D=)
Btw, is NaNoWriMo every month, or every once a year in November? <.<a
You've still got a chance. It's a rough slide, but even if you don't make it to the 50k in the next week and a half or so, you managed to bring to life almost 17k words to a new story! Keep writing it in December and until you finish and you'll have accomplished what NaNoWriMo was urging you to accomplish anyway. :3
And NaNoWriMo is officially every November.
Good luck to you! ^^
Hehehe. =3
I made it up to 24,619 words now, close to finish chapter IV and start chapter V. 0=
Hope i get 25k+ before I heading to bed... I had 2 weeks vacation... it ends tomorrow... from there it will be a slow down... |3
NaNoWriMo was a good way to get me to get me out of my writer-block I had for too long, thanks for that. =3
I'll keep writing, It may has 35 pages and 4 chapters now (one chapter has like 9 pages)... but it's still at its beginning. |3
Every November, okay, I think I'll join the next too. =3
Can't await to read your story, too. x3
And thank you. ^^
My anticipation is great.
I just broke 9000, personally. I'm going to skip making jokes about that and keep writing.
