NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

Personally, I have no job currently, which meant I had little else to do to fill the days! I've had a pretty abysmal year and a half, too, so writing the first draft of a novel was something I desperately wanted to do for my own self-esteem if nothing else; my motivation was therefore quite high with plenty of time to allow it. Also, the novel I wrote was a full-length version of one I was posting casually to a blog of mine, so I already had a pretty good feel for my characters and story.

I finished two days early with a final count of just over 105,000 words. I've already started the labourious process of redrafting, so time will tell now what becomes of it!
