Not very happy about the ‘finished’ product. The whole ‘just type and don’t edit’ thing is just too seductive. It’ll take me as long to edit as it did to, um, type. But it is fun. And very consuming. I’ve thought about nothing except the damned novel for six solid weeks (you’re allowed to plan before 1 November).
Still, I did it. And finished early too. If you can call it finished. Hopefully though, I can have it ready to post within a few weeks, after I’ve changed a major part of the setup (I had this new idea day before yesterday, but controlled myself and didn’t succumb to the rewrite temptation – hence the early finish). I think the final product will be lucky to be 30,000 words.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I lost a few days writing and I’m still trying to catch up.

Having said that, I’m fairly satisfied with my progress and it’s really interesting how the story doesn’t really resemble what I had in my outline all those weeks ago. Those characters sure have minds of their own. Luckily, I can just follow them around with a notebook and jot down what they do.  🙂

Still hopeful of participating in NaNoWriMo and have been working on the outline of my “novel”.

It’s hopefully going to be a reasonably fun exercise and story. I’ve decided to incorporate another story (that is also only at outline stage) into it. So, with a bit of luck, I should get something out of it.

The closer it gets to 1 November, the bigger the trepidation, but I’ve resolved to at least give it a try. Who knows what I may come up with?
