On Skipping NaNo (For Good Reason)
So every year I try, unofficially, quietly, to do NaNo, and it never works out. This year, I will be skipping entirely, but for good reason. A couple of days into October (I don't remember the exact day, but it may have been the third or fourth), I started writing a novel. At about four o'clock this morning, after trying and failing to sleep and getting up to write again, I finished the first draft. It's still a little on the short side, but it's still the longest thing I've ever written, by far, certainly the longest thing I've ever completed, and now I'm just sort of looking at it like, "So...what do I do now?" Wringing another one out in another month would probably kill me. As it is, I'm left so completely brainspent I can't even process my RP obligations, and have forgotten to make posts for two days running.
But, yeah. I wrote a novel. Go me. *collapses*
