Why not day 19? Well, because it’s only just begun (okay, it’s over halfway through, but my writing for the day has only started), and I can’t properly reflect on it until after the day is over.
The past week has been crazy. I’m officially over halfway done with NaNoWriMo, and though it will be amazing to finally cross that 50k line, I will be sad to see the month go. This month has given me a renewed passion for writing. I never stopped loving it, but I let it fall to the side for a time, and now it has garnered its proper position as front and center in my life.
Though I know my writing will lessen once November is over, I will try and continue these brilliant ideas that are floating around in my mind, and once December begins, editing will as well. This story that I’ve created, one that didn’t exist prior to 19 days ago, is interesting, and no one else could tell it. There is so much beauty and power in that that I have to be proud, even if some of it is crappy writing.
A few writer’s blocks set me back a little, but I’m right on track again, thanks to my characters. My schoolwork may not be its best, but I think less than 100% for a month is not going to kill me.
I must say, though, that the fortunes seem to be smiling up0n me this month, because my workload has been reasonable, and my muses have been generally kind, save a few confusing matters. The writing has been smooth, though 2,000 words a day doesn’t always come easy, especially when I’m struggling to thread the pieces of the story together while maintaining dynamic characters and not letting it all fall flat. I hope I’ve been as successful as I feel I have been.
I crossed the 30k line last night, and I’m over 3/5 of the way done. Talk about a strange feeling.
Well, that’s all for now. There will certainly be more later. Happy Day 19, fellow NaNoWriMos
