Those of you following this may have noticed no post for NaNo Week 3. I hated that I couldn’t finish the goals set before me and get those 50k words written. Especially since I started out so strong.
The truth is I haven’t managed to write much of anything for over a week. Sad Candi.
I work retail and I knew going in that I would have a lot less time by the end of the month. I didn’t plan on my kids extra curricular activities to ramp up to the point that I have very little time at home to even think of writing. All of this means I didn’t finish and in some ways I feel like a failure.
However, before I started I thought I would only make it to the halfway mark and I did do that. I wrote more words in the last 30 days on a single project than I ever have before. Very cool. I did stumble a little in my vision of the story. This story is way more epic than I originally thought and so I have had to think a bit about where I am going with it.
I will continue to work on Mysjenn’s story. I am setting myself the goal of finishing it by the end of January. Then I will set it aside for a few months while I work on another story starring John St. George, dragonslayer of the Pacific Northwest. He has been whispering in my ear lately and I want to get a draft down about him before starting the revision process for Mysjenn.
Hope you are all doing well and finished the word count goals you were aiming for.
