NaNoWriMo Day 30

Final day!

But I failed...

I came it at 69,393 words total, which is nearly 20,000 more words than I needed for the NNWM word count. But I didn't actually finish the book. I'm about halfway through chapter 28, which is possibly the penultimate chapters, or it might go to 30, I can't really decide just yet, we'll see how that plays out. Also there's a short epilogue, but that might just be called chapter 30/31 instead, because it probably shouldn't be an epilogue at all...

Iunno...

I should be able to finish soon, anyway, though. Just a shame I couldn't get it done during November. Or rather that I failed to, not that I couldn't, because I could have. I could have easily been done on Sunday or Monday, but I wasted four gorram days with Terraria instead.

Terraria is crazy fun, though, so at least there's that.

Only problem? A certain person just happens to be coming back into my life tomorrow who I'd rather wasn't.

Well, that, and Terraria has its big version 1.1 update sometime tomorrow... yeah...

If anyone followed my postings, but didn't actually follow my blog (because I still have no actual followers), thanks for putting up with my ramblings during the month. Sorry I failed to complete the project. But I will! I promise! I don't think I'll ever publish it, because dreams don't always come true, but I'll finish it. And I'll even think about writing book 2 as well.

NaNoWriMo Day 29

Chapter 27 is complete after another 2500 words or so...

Chapters 28, 29, 30, and the epilogue? I have 1 day left to write them. But I do have 2 rough drafts each for them, and 2 very older versions of them (they might not be 3 chapters...really they could be just 1 if I wanted, but meh). If I dedicate the entire day tomorrow to the project, I could probably get them finished?

I doubt I'll be able to pull it off now, though. Wish me luck anyway.

NaNoWriMo Day 27

I might as well copy/paste yesterday's post here...

I've kinda played Terraria out at this point, though, so hopefully I'll dedicate a ton of time tomorrow to writing? We'll see...

NaNoWriMo Day 26

Forgot to write this last night...

Same as day 25 though! Played Terraria instead of writing... I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish on time now...

NaNoWriMo Day 25

Instead of writing, I downloaded Terraria and played it until 4 AM...

Time management skills? What are those?

NaNoWriMo Day 24

Chapter 26 is done now. Chapter 27 is going well. Chapters 27 to 30 are all stuff that I've written before, much like the first few chapters. They'll probably end up pretty long chapters, and I've only 6 more days to finish them, but I should be able to pull it off if I dedicate a little time, given that I have older drafts for these chapters at least.

Also, it's the 25th now, which is the first day you can make your 50k+ word count official. So I've officially won NNWM 2011 now! That's nice, I guess... I need to get the actual novel done, though, before I start celebrating...

As much shit as I gave myself all during the month, the final few chapters are actually kinda good, I think. They're suspenseful, and actiony, and twisty, and even a little romantic, for what I can do with romance. So hopefully I'll actually be enjoying myself as I finish up the book.

Here's hoping...

Oh, and there's an epilogue afterwards, which is basically just a big "TO BE CONTINUED" bit... The book is being written as the first part of a trilogy. Will I ever write parts 2 and 3? Probably not! But who knows?
