SuNo: Finished

Today, I finished typing my SuNo at 3:00 pm. The final word count for my novel is 207,065. I don't even want to think about editing at this point because I know it's going to be brutal yet hilarious. So I'm happy that I have finished that chapter and can now move on with NaNo! :D

*dances with joy*

Finishing My SuNo

I have decided to make a resolution that I'm going to stick to. I have decided that if I do not finish my SuNo, I will not participate in NaNo. I'm hoping this will help me finish one novel this year. I really need to do so. I'm so close to the end too. So that is my goal for the month, we'll see how everything works out for me.

If I do finish my SuNo, I am going to be rewriting my fantasy trilogy for NaNo. I'm hoping that it will turn out better than the first attempt. There are very few people ho read it all the way through and those who did could tell you that it needed a lot of work. :P I have furthered my resolution to never leave off in mid-thought because of that. I will not have a repeat of that disaster. Huzzah for me. :P

Gearing up for NaNo

It's almost November again. My goodness, the time sure goes fast. I have finally decided on my plot for NaNoWriMo this year. I will be rewriting The Jewel of the Ancient. This time, I'm definately excited to get this up and going. Quite honestly because it's about time. Plus, I need to get my trilogy out of the way. :P I have lots of planning to do though. We'll see how everything goes! :D NaNo's coming soon!

160,000 words

Wow, just wow. I'm amazed, again. I never thought that I would be able to do it, but here I am. I pushed myself even more and there are more words than I know what to do with. Heh, I know amazing, right? I'm trying to work to wrap up my plot. I should be done between 14,000-20,000 more words and I hope that I get to type the infamous words "the end" for the first time in a long time. I am super excited to near the end of this journey and I cannot believe that time has gone by this quickly. Feels like yesterday that I was at 1K and going "My goodness, what have I gotten myself into?"

Keep writing to the very end!

Life will forever be the whisper in the wind

Somewhat of a poetic title, ne? I decided to name this post that because I am a little frustrated, upset, hurt, shocked, angry, and tired. I know, it's hard to imagine someone feeling those emotions all at once. Even though today is more mellow than yesterday, I am still...I don't even know how to describe my state right now. I was given a very unexpected call yesterday and I just don't know how I'm going to accomplish the task. Life is forever calling me and I have duties outside of writing (this I know, but it's been very hard). I don't want to go into details, just ask for a lot of prayer.

As for my SuNo, I'm a little disappointed that I'm not as far as I would like. I ended up missing my goal by about 4K last night, but I can't control everything. I'm thinking of aiming for 140K today, after I do what need to be done first. Depending on how I feel, I might go for more, but I just want to make that mile stone at least. I don't know whether I will make it past 180K (my secret goal) at this point. We'll see, it's all up to God and what He wants me to do.

I'll just keep trusting Him as I continue down this path. I have nowhere else to go, but with Him.

Keep writing, you all are doing great! :)

120,000!

I reached 120,000 words recently and I don't know how to react. I'm shocked, excited, and questioning my sanity all at the same time. So, I'm going to up my word goal, of course. I have to see how much more I can manage to write in this month! I wonder who will be kind enough to pick me up off the floor after this month.

Keep writing! :D

I exceed my expectaions again

So today (well, yesterday if you want to get picky), I wrote a total of 14K. Do you know how hard it is to write that much without your brain melting? Mine's gone so don't ask for it. Anyway, because of that, I am now at 102,000. I am...shocked. My characters are finally starting to decide that getting to the halfway point would be a good idea. <_< This will end up being longer than what my NaNo is currently at. I have so ideas as to which scenes I can cut out though. I'm off to rest my melted brain, please let me rest in peace. :P
