Writing Diary #14 - Nanowrimo Winner!!!

I complete Nanowrimo!!! With my final word count coming to 50,524 words!!

The first half went really well but it got harder and harder from the half way point. Nevertheless, I managed to finish my novel and, as a whole, I'm really happy with it. Doing this prequel novella of my current work in progress has been so insightful as I've delved into a certain character's past and it's helping plan and plot for the future.

I'm really happy I participated in Nanowrimo even though it took a lot out of me. It got very draining and it got to a point where I'd dread writing every day. But it did push me to finish this novella and I'm pleased with how it's turned out. Currently, I don't think I'd do Nanowrimo again but... by next year I'll probably be raring to go at it again. Typical.


As for December, I'll be taking a break month but may do a bit of editing and outlining as well. Yay.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to comment your thoughts- did you participate in Nano? How did it go?! Stay amazing!

  1. Congratulations, that's great! I have always thought it would be enjoyable to write a book, but I have never really had the time to devote to it. Taking a month to really focus on it is a smart idea, and I'm glad it worked out for you.
