Woohoo!!!

I did it! I did it! NaNoWriMo is won once more. I hit my 50000 word goal tonight.Of course, the novel isn't done yet and won't be for a while. I totally plan on continuing to write on it. I guess I have a resolution to not publish anymore of my fanfiction until it's done or mostly done and a good chance of being finished. I have just too many fictions our there to introduce a partial story now. But now that I've finally got into the flow of this story, it almost seems to be writing itself. It makes me laugh because I keep referencing the outline I made, but I keep putting things into it in different order than I planned. But it all comes out naturally and sounding normal, so I think it works. I'll get it all in there at some point or another. But for now, I'm going to relax, maybe work on some more knitting and then go to bed.

NaNoWriMo Day 11

Ah, things are starting to go fantastic for me, now that I have a game plan in mind. I started working on my fanfiction novel this month and it was slow going at first. I had the plot all set out. I wasn't sure about the characterization, but it has been coming together, now that I have most of the exposition and back story stuff out of the way. I'm moving into the meat of the story. It's really flowing and I'm feeling that special satisfaction once I come to a stopping point in the story, usually the end of a chapter. This is ending up a his her counterpoint of views per chapter, so at this point, I'm writing out all of her chapters and then at the halfway point, I will go back to his side of the story. I know that the story won't be finished at the end of the month, but that's okay, since I wasn't going to post this one until it was complete anyways. Most specifically because it is a new fandom that I am trying out and I want the chance to tweak things before I present it to the public for consumption. It just tickles me that even with headaches, migraines, knee problems and a kids birthday to deal with so far, I've only missed one day of writing. No second week slumps for me!
