valiant_queeneI suppose I have delayed long enough posting my epic fail of NaNoWriMo.
I had a great idea. Lots of notes. A planned storyline. Everything. And I tried to do it the month I had a 5-20 page short story due in Creative Writing Fiction and a 3,000 word essay due in Creative Writing Non Fiction. Needless to say, I did not finish my novel. I managed to write about 5,000 words before school became too much for me to handle.
But, that does not mean I am giving up. It just means that I am no longer writing under a deadline for this novel. And I will finish this novel. I am making a promise to myself of that. I just need to break it down into more manageable pieces than 50,000 words in a month.
I have over 20 stories started on my laptop and in my writing notebook, and I will finish at least one of them with this novel.
