About to Back Post My Butt Off

As of 12:01am this morning (or if you were my computer 9:30pm last night WTH) NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH came to a close.

It was exciting and a little bittersweet. I wrote more than I have ever written for any else in my life, fanfiction or otherwise. Yet with well over 100K words I would have thought that I would have gotten to those 2 special words every author wants to see "The End" but I didn't.

I figure that I have at least another 20 to 30 thousand to finish off this story. That is a little insane to me but at the same time I am so glad that even at the word count that I am at I still have a passion for what I am writing and want to finish it. I am also grateful that I have at least two possibly more that want to read it. That is amazing and I completely plan on finishing every last word.

So now that I have what might be considered extra time in my day what is it that I plan on doing you might ask? WRITING!! LMBO

I know, I know it makes no sense. You would think that after spending 30 days so engrossed in writing a novel the last thing I would want to do for the next month or more is writing but that is part of my plan. I have two more stories that are just screaming to get out, a book review that I have been putting aside until I could focus, a fanfiction that has been so neglected, and just to break up the writing zone another book that needs to be finished by the beginning of next week (needs to go back to the library). And all that is on top of finishing my NaNo novel.

I also have a few updates for my blogs that need to be handled. In case you missed it I pretty much stopped updating around the middle of the month. That was when I really got into the novel.

So where does that leave me; back posting my butt off. Not just on this blog but on a few others and a few that I review for. Good thing I need to bake some cookies over the next couple of days and finish off my massive long check list that kept piling up during November.

Given all that you would think I would get off of here and get to work. See you later.

  1. I thought my novel was long at 100K! I know I have another 5K to write, the last chapter. And with edits, I think I will cut at least 20K out. I write long and edit really tight to 70-80K.
