Glory onto the Nanowrimo

For it has made of me a wild adventurerer.

Yes folks another Nano has come and gone; and while some part of me shall miss it, another part is glad to be able to slack off for a bit.

I mean my word, I managed 100,000 words in two novels in 18 days. That's a heck of a rate. Even when averaging (5555 words a dayish) But when You consider that it wasn't so cleanly split and that my personal best was a day where I pumped out 9000 words in 8 hours. That's none too shabby. I've heard advice from many professional writers who don't write that hard.

But now for the sad news: the stories, while resting, are far from done. Infact Attirs war decided earlier in the process that It would rather be a series then a book and is at the current 50,000 words only just begining. Portal city is further along at it's 50,000 being about 1/3-2/5 done. Now there will be sloppy areas and extra stuff to be trimmed but there will also be areas that need expanding and elaboration too. There are a few areas in Portal city that border dangerously on monolouges and lectures and so hould be broken up and made more story like and less information dumping.

It was wild and I'd do it again (and a bit more) given a little more time and some changes to my computer access situation. Which should have been solved this time (grumble... ripped off... grumble).

But for now I'm laying those storys down for a nap, they nolonger need to be rushed through my muses. And I will still be doing a fair amount of writing in December due to some of my goals from the Master list coming up on the deadline. Yes By new Year I will be looking back on my list of 24 things and seeing most if not all of them taken care of. And then being silly in the head enough to make a whole new list.

I'm in the thick of it these days. No longer am I asking where is this life taking me, I'm asking where am I taking this life.

I'll be here again on the morrow.
Take care of yourselves.
