So, November is over. It’s been long month of working really hard to write and now that it’s done, I’m a little lost. I’m sleeping normally again and I’m not stressed over word count anymore and without the weight on my shoulders, this is when I’d normally be sinking into finals. Instead, I’m not really sure what I’m doing. Kinda wandering for a little while, I guess.
Still, this means I can do other things for a little while. I’m taking some time off from writing stories to creatively recover from the month. I’ve never written that much in a month on stories and I am really tired from it all. You could probably tell at the end I started missing excerpt days. That’s what happens, I guess, when I try to write quite that much in a month.Delightful creative drain.
Already I’ve gone to one TGIO and will certainly try to make it to a second one. I’m going to miss seeing everyone until next year. The month is so much fun and full of crazy, but you meet the most interesting people doing this. And you get to meet up with them all month to be crazy together. Let’s hope I can keep in touch this year.
I’ve started reading comics again, though. I’ve still been picking them up, but haven’t read one all month. I will probably start writing reviews again, those really not as creatively draining as novels and probably just within what I can comfortably handle. Besides, apparently Vancowrimo also likes them.
I’m also going to be doing a heck of a lot more writing in the new year. But that’s something for new years.
I suppose I should talk about the month in review and all that, but really, I wrote and got lost in my stories for a month. I have two completed novels that I can now edit until they can be read by someone other than blind coconuts without causing severe brain damage. I’ll miss it, but I look forward to next year.
And now, I’m going to go and see what I can do about enjoying my newfound freedom. If I can think of anything to do with it.
