Last year I reached the goal I set and actually managed to complete the NaNoWriMo and wrote 50 000 words of (fan)fiction in 30 days. This year I’m not gonna take it as seriously as I did then, and I’m gonna be a NaNo-Rebel and break the rules a little bit. This time the important thing is that I get some writing done, period, and I’m not gonna stick to just one story as I’m supposed to, but work on a few different ones.
For now, the goal is to complete the following chapters for my L Word and Three Rivers stories over at ATWWNS:
This is Treasure: Chapter 14-15
Gemini: Chapter 4-6
‘Til it’s Gone: Chapter 9-10
“Monkey & Squirrel”: Chapter 3
Battle Royale: Chapter 15
Wait Another Day: Chapter 2
… and at least one one-shot fic.
I’m gonna try to post some parts of what I’m working on here in the blog while I’m still working on it, maybe a few times a week and we’ll see how that goes. I’m probably not gonna get 50 000 words this time, but whatever I get is more than nothing, right?
Here’s my profile over at the Nanowrimo site.
Time to start panicking now?
Worried
No panicking, lady. You’re gonna do just fine, and I’ll help you whenever you need it.
I just don’t get how the hell I pulled that off last year. It feels impossible now.
because you put your mind to it and you worked really, really hard. And you had a new story that you had a lot of ideas for. Your goal is different this year but you can do it again, and even if you dont, it doesn’t matter. All that does is that you have fun with it.
But I have a pretty new story this year too, Gemini. But it feels like a WAY bigger challenge to update old stories than to just focus on something new. It’s gonna be hell to get into BR again, I haven’t even read that story, or even really thought about it, for a year.
Yeah, I know you do, and you have a lot of good ideas for Gemini too. And yeah, it’s a bigger challenge but you’ve gotta have some faith n yourself. You’re a great writer and if it’s not working for a particular story, you can write more on a different one.
