I Won!

Please don't scold me for not posting in so long! Not that you would...but...I was very busy writing. But before I tell you the good news I might as well speak of Indiana. All we did was shop, play videogames (Super Smash Brothers Melee! W00t!), watch movies (Master and Commander [W000000000t!] and My Fair Lady), and I wrote and I read. After buying Oliver Twist, I tried to finish that by this last Tuesday, but to no avail. It's a really good book, though.

I wrote mostly at night, when older cousins or parents weren't looking over my shoulder or bugging me(which usually was around 12pm-1am, after which Dad made me go to bed). I also had to work on my audition monologues, so that took time...but after days and days of researching, plot searching, and idea searching...I finally WON! With a final word count of 50,036 words on Tuesday, November 27, at 1am. I HAD to finish that day, for twas the day of auditions, but that's a whole 'nother story [check out my other blog ;)].

I wrote a few more words yesterday, bring my word count up to 50,155 to submit it to the NaNoWriMo website. Just to let you all know, though...My novel is nowhere NEAR being finished. In fact, it's probably only halfway written, not to mention all the editing I have to do. But now I can finally slow down and think! Wo0t!

So! My conclusion: The novel probably won't be touched in December, other than reading and a teensy- weensy bit of editing, for I'm fed up with it at the moment and still need waaaay more research.

Historical fiction was definately hard to do for NaNo, but I did it! And on my first attempt, too. This is my 2nd historical fiction novel. The other was also a thiller/fantasy that I co-authored with DuelDragon on DioM...It was short, and kind of...different, but fun to write with her. Anyways, I've decided I'll be writing fantasy for next year's novel and that is final! Or so I say now...Lol...;)
