Well, it's finally over. Technically there are a few hours yet, but I finished last night, and have enjoyed the respite. ydbxmhc | National Novel Writing Month
CloudWalker is officially sleeping. NaNo's first draft is done at just over 50k words, and I'm reasonably proud of it. It needs subthread development, POV polish, stylistic revision and lots of editing, but that's stuff for the rewrite, which I won't be doing for a month or three. When I do, I expect the overall story to morph considerably, and the eventual word count to almost double.
Work is still hammering, but I've found I can still get in a couple thousand words a day if I make it a priority. My online gaming has suffered, but not as much as you might think. My twitter posts and blogging habits took a bigger hit. I hope to work them back into my schedule.
In the meantime, my wife has pointed out that this blog, while perhaps of interest to other aspiring writers, is really not very practical. I agree.
I'll be trying to come up with a new format. I have some ideas.
