Day 25 - 50,248 words
It's been a fair amount of time since I updated this but I have to admit that I got really stuck into the whole NaNoWriMo process and ended up using the time that I would have spent updating here to actually update my story as a whole. As the days gradually crept closer and closer to the end I started to panic and generally just wanted to reach the 50k goal to have the pressure lifted off of my shoulders so I could take this a little slower pace than what I ended up pushing myself to do. The days that I spent doing absolutely nothing effectively made me worry all the more about getting to end within the time limit and so I spent a great deal of time catching up to the predicted guide line that the site has on the progress graphs.
I'm happy to say that on this day i've technically 'finished'. I have reached the goal of 50k and therefore have completed NaNoWriMo. I have to say that for my first year i'm taking that as a massive achievement, especially when coupled with my oh so lovely habit of procrastination to the nth degree. It was hectic and sort of stressful to the point where I now just want to point off writing until the new year or so but overall it was a fun and motivating experience, I now have the urge to write more fanfiction albeit a great deal small than this monster of text although possibly going further than the 300-400 words things that I was doing every now and again being taking on this challenge.
I'm not looking forward to the process of editing and the like, knowing full well that there will be words in strange places which make absolutely no sense and long passages which need to rewritten. I really need to add a great deal more dialogue into what I currently have and create more of a sense of character interactions in addition to the heavy plot that I had going on. It will likely take a while before I can make any steps to share it out wherever I end up placing it and it certainly needs a lot more work done as in while the word goal has been reached the story itself has not been completed. In fact it will be a miracle if it's halfway by this point.
I also reached a certain set of points that I didn't want to reach, specifically in it sounding like a bad shipping novel in my mind which I didn't intend or really wish to happen. That could potentially just be me being in the wrong frame of mind though.
I have to admit, my wrists hurt and i'm super energetic after reaching that long awaited 50k. Thinking about just chilling out with some video games and forgetting about the whole thing for a day or two before maybe squeezing out a little more for the end of November.
Also my typo of the day. Seductively instead of Sadistically. Kinky needle waving, my brain clearly needs a rest.
