Another Victory for Me!

As of just before midnight of the twenty-seventh of two thousand twelve, I became a winner of the year's Nation Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). National Novel Writing Month, for those who are unfamiliar with it, takes place throughout November during which the participants attempt to write 50,000 words of a single novel. I participated last year. In fact, I won exactly one year before this win, as both times were on the late night of the twenty-sixth of November. Last year I was writing about the night goddess, Zilia, and this year I was writing about the distant Liliana Swan. I suppose you could say that "A Plead to Iris" (this year's novel) is much more happy than "Love: A Chaotic Insanity" (last year's novel). Unlike last year, I actually fell behind in my word count during the third week. Luckily for me, there just happened to be an all night write in at a fellow participants house nearby. I attended and wrote roughly eleven thousand words. I might have finished earlier, and not fallen behind, if I did not have so many essays to write. In fact, I actually did not write for NanoWriMo some nights because I needed to work on an essay that was due the day following. Now, with NaNoWriMo done and a majority of my essays done, I am left with time to relax and catch up on the sleep that I so desperately need.

     Moreover, due to the fact that I had been so busy all month, I nearly neglected my blog entirely and I must apologize for this. However, I would not be surprised to find myself posting parts of "A Plead To Iris" or even of "Love: A Chaotic Insanity", as I am currently editing the latter and will hopefully get around to publishing it before Camp NaNoWriMo of 2013, which will apparently be starting in April (most likely due to the shutting down of Script Frenzy).

     I believe I have flaunted my victory enough for the time being. Thus, I will take my leave and steal some of that mysterious sleep that I have heard so much about. Until next time,
-Zero
