NaPoWriMo 2013: I've got stories for you!
12 years ago
This is my fifth year doing a November project: I'm not really enthused about writing a novel, but I'm all over a socially endorsed excuse to spend more time than usual writing. So from 2009 to now, my Novembers have been NaPoWriMo, subbing out the novel of National Novel Writing Month for porn.
Here's this year's crop:
"Hypno-Slut And Guest" --- in which an invitation is taken with enthusiasm.
"The Escape" --- in which rubberization features.
"The Takehome" --- in which didactic explanations and taurbutt are presented.
"On Track To" --- in which a tigress' toughness is tested.
"Ancient Practices" --- in which an immersive teaching method is employed.
It's been great for me, for my writing productivity. Due to some social issues, 2013 was a rotten year for my writing, but I got my act together enough to get some fine writing done this year --- and the difference from previous years shows. I've definitely learned what kind of story I can write quickly, and I've learned something about my tropes in content and my habits in terms of getting words cranked out.
I also have learned that I have some distinct favorites:
2009: "Reverse Rapture" has a concept that I really need to come back to, and "Special Delivery" presents some catgirl pets, a theme you can't keep me away from.
2010: "The Chase" remains a fairly good depiction of the gorgon and I like how fantasy tropes ended up working. "A Game Of Questions" is a story that I'm actively proud of.
2011: I did a good job with "Dissolution," I should point my writing at those kinks more often, and similarly "Binding the Pack" was an experiment that came out pretty well.
2012: A very lean year, but I'm very happy with "Like Fire A Dangerous Servant" and I enjoyed the quiet intimacy of "A Gift That Expands Horizons" even though I wish I'd come up with a better title.
I have some more ambitions for this project: I'd like to get the stories I just listed, a few more, and my favorites from this year, and then apply a vigorous round of editing and wrap them all up as an ebook. I think that'd be a good way to present my work --- to get together and differentiate work I'm proud of, and to make it easier to access for people who don't care about, don't know about, or are repelled by FA (which, heck, sometimes includes me).
I've never yet hit NaNoWriMo's official goal of 50,000 words, and sometimes I've fallen short of my own 1000-words-a-day and improve-on-last-year goals, but I've also learned that that's okay. I've gotten a lot of work done that I wouldn't have otherwise, I've turned out gratifying stories for a bunch of people I like, and I've persisted. All important things.
It's been a great five years, and I'm looking forward to five more. Writing is one of the things that I want to be doing for the rest of my life.
