This year was my 3rd entrance in NaNoWriMo. The first two times I surpassed the 50,000 words and came away with the rough ideas for two novels. This year I entered the fray, not to write 50,000 wrds of new material, but use the one month experience to sort out last years novel idea I had been tangling with since.
I'd say I've just about done that. I did get some bugs worked out and came up with a few clearer scenes than before. Even better, the writing--as always--gave me the chance to get to know my characters better. For this I am very pleased. This month will most definitely make the continuation of my WIP easier.
How did all of your NaNo endeavors go this year. Find yourself a new story or a new idea to change a old one?
BTW, thank you for all of your support and kinds words last week regarding my latest and greatest WIP--my future baby. It put a smile on my face. ;-D

Great idea to go back to your old NaNo stuff and rework it. This was my first NaNo and I fear I wrote a lot crap but I did notice a few diamonds in there as well. So hopefully I can come up with a full novel the first part of next year. Good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And I'm glad it worked. I'm very excited about your new wip :D
ReplyDeleteI have a great skeleton and lots of toned flesh, I just have to get it arranged. (That's the strange analogy that comes to me when I think of my nano story...?)
Thanks guys and I do love to hear about all of your "few diamonds amongst the crap" and the Frankenstein monsters we can call our WIP's. I wish all of you luck!
