Nano Adventure

This year's Nano (National Novel Writing Month) has ended Tuesday and I "won" with 51,383 words. There were some times in the month of November that I thought that I wouldn't reach the goal of50,000 words. But I did, and I'm still not done with this year's novel. Now that Nano's done, I can shift my focus back to my usual routine of writing fanfics and slow down on writing the end of my 2010 novel and getting ready for the holiday.

Too Many Ideas, Too Little Time

Such is the problem of any writer. Having all these ideas come into your mind from all different muses, from tv and movies to books and music. And I'm no exception. With working on the second draft of my first book and soon to start the first draft of my third book in roughly two weeks for National Novel Writing Month (Nano), I also have a Kushiel's Legacy fanfiction on hold (waiting on my busy Beta reader), a Stargate SG-1 fanfiction that I had started and may scrap for another go, and a Star Wars slightly AU fanfiction. And too top it off, I'm also working on finish reading Half-Blood Prince and all the way through Chapter 25 of Deadly Hallows before November 19 when Part 1 is released in theaters.

It's not for the lack of doing (maybe it is a little on the procrastination side), but for the lack of time and doing other things. Sure, I have no life and I sit on the computer hours on end, but that's how I read most of the Harry Potter books, with the occasional trip to the flush. Plus it's the Halloween season and there are a couple of things I need to do for a costume, no matter how cheap, before the 31st. Sure, it's not one of those you'll find in the store or any sort of convention (ie. San Diego's Comi-Con or Detroit's own Comic Convention). The point is that it'll be home made and it'll do until I can actually get the time and material to actually do the costume I had planned for this year.
