Although I'd pretty much decided it by Monday, I'm going to now officially declare that I've thrown in the towel on NaNoWriMo this year. I don't think I've written on my story since Friday, and I don't think there's any chance I can bring up the word count fast enough to get 50,000 in November.
This isn't a bad thing, however. I now have the full set of notes to carry on writing a story I really like. Without worrying about my writing speed, I can now pull the story together and let it improve as I consider all of what could possibly happen.
It may even be a good thing, I never finishedThe Speed of Darkness until a good while after NaNoWriMo.
Hey ... keep up the writing if you like the story idea and it has possibilities. I don't think I'm going to finish mine either ... but the characters seem to be moving the story along.
ReplyDeleteThink its what you do with your story after November that makes the effort worth while.
For sure! all of what I have published originated from past NaNoWriMo's and I have a good set of notes already prepared for this story :)
