Brand Spankin' New Writing Adventure!

SOTD (Yep, I'm reentering that trademark): All The Lonely Nights by Mage

Okay, so I haven't posted to this blog in, what, six months now? That is because I forgot not only about this blog, but about my screenplay. Forgive me.

Anyway, here's what's new: I joined NaNoWriMo! It's basically the same as Script Frenzy, except I have to write a novel in a month. To be honest, novels are more my forte: screenplays just feel really clumsy on my keyboard.

So do you wanna know what my novel's about? Do you? Nah, I'll tell you later; my brain is kind of tired after forcing myself to write until I got up to 25k. Yep, that's right.... I failed Nano. I didn't win. But I won something better: a rough draft of a novel that I didn't drop after three chapters! ^^ That is what's important; not winning, but a sense of accomplishment that comes with having tested my limits and creating something beautiful. Tomorrow (well, maybe on the 2nd, I need my rest tomorrow), I'll attack my novel with the same sense of steely determination I cultivated for Nano, and I'll be done by New Year's Eve. Then comes the dreaded editing... but I'll recruit people to help me with that. ^^ I may just be able to publish after that.

Well, if anybody actually read this, thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time!
