NaNoWriMo-Facts and Fun things.

My novel is not finished. I know that sounds weird, but I didn't complete it in this span of time. I suppose I shall have to at some other point. Until then, I am returning to Lineage, where Adrian, Alastair, Royale, Misti and Starr have greeted me cordially, said that they missed me, and want to move forward in their story. My only problem is that currently, almost every story I have is taking place in the summertime, so I'm going to have to bribe myself to write somehow, because lately I don't feel in the summer writing mood. Perhaps a few rainstorms will help.
 Anyways, the facts that I learned from NaNoWriMo are-
  1.  I can totally pour my emotions into my writings and then come up with a huge wordcount and a much calmer countenance. I did it twice this month and it helped me so much.
  2. Following that insane and uncooperative idea at midnight is just what you need to do. Seriously, it is.
  3. Listening to music while I write is the only way I finished this thing. Without it I would have died. XD
  4. I love René more than any other character. Ummm...is that really a fact? lol
  5. Hurting your characters endears you to them. Do it, and you'll be bff for the rest of your book. lol
So I did learn a few things...and that I am capable of it if I just step my standards up and really try. I've written 1,000 words in thirty minutes before, just because I got so into it and excited about what I was writing.Those were the most fun moments; when my story was like a movie, and all I was doing was making the movie in my head, watching it and writing it down. It could be said that I was a 'chronicler' as my friend likes to say, but I would prefer 'creator, director and writer' all at once. Seriously the most easy multitasking this strangely unable to multitask girl has every done.
 Anyways, the fun parts? Well, that one above of course. Then I super-enjoyed the fact that I could write and write and write and no one could do anything about it! :) Aka, I didn't get kicked off for being creative! Now, I'm attempting to finish this post before the clock strikes eleven thirty, soooo...
 I also enjoyed working with characters for such a short amount of time, yet enjoying it just the same. I liked writing an almost novel in just thirty days. And eating so much candy, making an atrocious ammount of cookies, and being a general over-achiever during November!
 Now, I could post excerpts from my novel, but I don't really want to. If any of you are interested in reading the sappiest, most hilariously horribly written romance novel in the world (next to a few that I know of but will not list for fear of starting pointless arguments), then be my guest. Comment here or, if you know my email, send me one and I will send you (digitally) a copy of my romance in draft form.
 Note that mentioning of draft form. :)
