NaNoWriMo
Holidays are so so nice. It hasn't even really sunk in yet that I don't have to do any uni work at all for another 3 months. I just need to linger over that thought for a moment...
... ok I'm done. Some time in the next week that thought is going to really hit me and I'm just going to be so incredibly happy. Even happier than I am now. And I'm pretty happy. Thoroughly content.
I started properly writing my NaNoWriMo novel today. Seeing as I've written only a tiny amount before today my current aim is about 3,459 words a day I think. So far today I've written 1,878 words. And I'm very proud of that. It's probably more words of fiction than I've written in around 2 years. But it's still only a little over half what I need each day to make it to 50k. I think I'm just going to change it to a personal goal of 25k and leave it at that. I think I could make 25k.
And of course part of the art of NaNo is the art of procrastination. Today I made a very boring cover for my novel. I also made a little icon from it. I was considering using the icon everywhere so that everytime I posted something I could be reminded of how I really should be writing more of my novel. But that seemed just too nasty. So I'm simply posting it here as a little reminder in years to come of my NaNo novel:
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the novel is currently called "The Septim" but I already hate that title so it probably won't last long. And it's a very strange fantasy novel, because I always find them the most fun to write. And it currently has no plot whatsoever. 2 main characters, well they're the only characters really, and 0 plot. Plot's for later.
