k_puffSo, I won NaNoWriMo yesterday. ~^___^~ *w00t* Notice that I say "won" and not "completed", because my story's still not over yet. I wrote the beginning, which got me to about 23,000 words, and I knew that I had so much stuff planned for the middle that I'd never get to the end in time for Nov. 30th. I ALSO knew that if I never got to the end, which was where all the plot!stuff happens, I'd never get around to writing that later.
So I skipped the middle and finished the end. So now I have the beginning, the end, and about a third of the middle done at 50,029 words, and THEN I have to edit it so that some select friends can read it and I can at least look back on it without retching.
>.<;; So good luck with THAT. I'm going to try and get as far as I can until Nov. 30th, though. See how much of the middle I can finish. I keep thinking about writing all day at school still, which is a good sign. I've been with this novel all month and I'm not tired of it yet~!
Also, I went to see Scovil (my director) about the winter play today, now that the Love of Three Oranges is over (it went great, by the way), and she lent me a copy of the script to read, and IT'S BEAUTIFUL. @.@ It's about Greek Myths, which I have a huge infatuation with anyway, plus the writing is absolutely goregous. I'm very excited...!
However, that does mean I have to find and memorize a monologue tonight, since my audition is tommorow after school. -__-;; Wish me luck on that.
PLUS look at my awesome Avatar icon. >__< Combining my love for Avatar AND the End of the World. Sweeeet.
