NaNoWriMo Hangover
The fantastic expedition that was NaNoWriMo 2009 has come to an end, and I have been fruitful in my quest to write 50,000 words in 30 days.
In fact, I wrote 50,000 in my first 15 days. In total, I succeeded in completing Triptych with 75,158 words, and wrote an extra 5,000 for my new project, The Powered ((That 5k for The Powered was later scrapped when I decided to revamp the concept, but it was still written during NaNo. It still counts.)).
I like to think I could have written a full 100,000 words for the entirety of NaNoWriMo, but finishing Triptych and beginning a brand new novel sapped my energy. I know: excuses, excuses. Just shut up and get to the statistics, Ley.

Massive thanks to my word sprint crew: Melissa & Shilo. I could not have done this without you guys. ♥♥
To everyone who was a part of NaNo ‘09, whether or not you succeeded, a huge CONGRATULATIONS. Can’t wait to do it again this time next year.
Speaking of next year: My number one hope is that I will have time to take part in NaNoWriMo 2010. Number two is that I would like to be somewhere that actually has write-ins and local events (I was the only one writing in Liverpool, to my knowledge).
