NaNoWriMo Day #29: I WON!
So, here it is on day #29 of NaNoWriMo and I just hit 50k words. It’s not all on the novel I originally started, though. I finished that at about 42k words and then started on another novel rather than add a bunch of crap into the first one that I’d just end up deleting in revisions. My original NaNo “novel” will be a novella in the end. I might even split it up into two novellas. The plan at this point is to finish up this other novel I started at the end of NaNo and then go back and edit the first one. Then I’ll release it as an ebook, since the market for novellas is so limited (especially steampunk novellas). I plan on developing a series based around these characters and in this world, probably a mix of novels and novellas.
The one thing I plan on continuing now that NaNo is over is writing fiction every day. I’ve been really bad about that in recent months, and I want to get back into the habit. I wrote nearly every day this month (I think there were three days total when I didn’t write and a few days where I only wrote a few hundred words). I want to keep writing every day. And on days when I’m not writing, I plan to edit. I want fiction writing to be a career eventually, and writing every day will bring me closer to that goal.
So, how did everyone else do? Are you still working toward 50k? Or have you won already? Given up? Anyone plan on calling in sick to work tomorrow and making a marathon effort to hit 50k? Let me know in the comments!
