Crap. This is going up pretty late. Sorry guys.
But hey, I had a valid reason for forgetting.
Okay. I lied.
Basically, I “won” on Saturday and now words are a thing other people do. Which is pretty much the exact opposite of how you are supposed to treat NaNo. Learn from me. Don’t give up just because you passed 50k and you’ve validated and your bar turns purple.
At some point I will finish my novel. It’s close. I can probably knock it out in less than 5k. But I don’t want to. These are the hardest words to write on this novel, because they have to wrap everything up. Even though I don’t plan on doing anything with this story (I have no plans to edit it into something more readable), I want to finish it right. And that requires effort.
And I’m not ready for that commitment.
If you need me I’ll be eating ice cream from the carton while convincing myself that I have no responsibilities.
