As a writer, I must say that when I have an "aha" moment I nearly explode. Last night my aha moment was how I am going to continue writing the rest of my 50,000 words! That is a great moment if you ask me. For the past few days I have been really worried on whether I will finish my quota of words every day and if I will really finish 50,000 words by November 29th. I think I need a cheer team, really truly.
I am extremely happy this morning though, would you all like to know why? If you do not want to hear you are still going to hear about this anyway! I am so many words ahead that I do not have to write that much today! I'll probably write about a thousand words though, which is still okay. So like I said in the subject of this blog, I should not be so happy.
Before explaining what my NaNoWriMo is, I believe I should explain what NaNoWriMo is in general. So, I shall explain... NOW. NaNoWriMo is a pretty cool word standing for National Novel Writing Month. It is a month where you... write a novel. It's pretty obvious isn't it? Well if it was not, now you know what it is right? The goal of NaNoWriMo, or national novel writing month, is to write 50,000 words between November 1st and November 30th. From Wikipedia: "No official prizes are awarded for length, quality, or speed. Anyone who reaches the 50,000 word mark is declared a winner. Beginning November 25, participants can submit their novel to be automatically verified for length and receive a printable certificate, an icon they can display on the web, and inclusion on the list of winners."
By golly, even though there is no formal prize, I am going to get that certificate. It just establishes my nerdy coolness a little bit more, right? I think so! I do not know where I would put the certificate, but gosh darn I will find a place for that sucker! I think that is something that would make my mother very proud, although this writing business is driving her insane.
I will give you all another piece of my life, mainly my story, when I come back with yet another funny blog post tomorrow. Today's was not very humorous, but I'm trying guys, really I am! Second thought, maybe I will give you all a character description tomorrow to introduce the characters I have so far! That sounds a lot better to me, so we will go with that.
I bid you all adieu for I will see you all again soon. :)
Character description? I approve. I would very much enjoy that!
