So is that a ray of light at the end of the tunnel... or an oncoming train?!!

NaNoWriMo is nearly over. My current word count stands at 24,242 and I will get that to 25K sometime before midnight tomorrow.

Since paragraphs  posed the question some time back about "what has NaNo taught you?" I have been mulling this over.

On one hand, I feel like a giant great big fat ugly LOSER. 25K is NOT 50K. I couldn't keep up. I didn't write a novel. I didn't write every day. Must of what I wrote was pointless nonsense. The inner editor (who, no surprise, sounds a lot like my mother) has been spending a lot of time chanting LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER in my head.

But that's okay. Inner Editor says that a lot about a lot of things.

So. Great. Own the losing bit and move on. So what did I LEARN?

( self-indulgent brain mining herein... )

I'm still going to have a little happy dance with I cross the 25K mark. Some people do half marathons don't they? This entry was originally posted at http://valancy-joy.dreamwidth.org/137290.html
