There are 8 days left in November and hence, 8 days left of NaNoWriMo.
I have been alternately super-productive and the antithesis of productivity, but after doing a bunch of “sprints” with @NaNoWordSprints, I’ve managed to almost catch up to where I’m supposed to be, and should be fully caught up with the planned Write-a-thon tomorrow.
And I’m also really excited for that finish line that’s coming up soon.
Because honestly, this draft is so much more workable than my last one. I’m excited to incorporate transitions, major and minor details, and feedback from my CPs. I’m excited to delete the extraneous and fine-tune my strong metaphors. I’m excited to print out my current draft and take my pink pen to it with abandon. Because even though it may take another couple of drafts while I tweak it, I’m so close to what I want my book to be. So friggin’ close.
And so very very excited about it. I’m having a sort of renaissance of love with my novel and it is good.
How’s it going for everyone else in NaNo-Land?
Congrats on being able to see the “finish line!” I’ve crossed it on my end too. Absolutely loved NaNoWriMo this year (my first attempt), liked the challenge, liked the incentive to work on something and actually finish it, and liked the story I came up with. Now I just need to keep that inspiration going forward and get back to work on the rest of the stories floating around in my head and half finished on my computer’s hard drive.
