Thoughts On Nanowrimo 2009
December 2nd 2009 12:08
I have a lot more to say on this, including the big 'credits' post that I'm planning, but I just wanted to get in a few words now.
It's early morning inmy part of the world and I'm still recovering from a hectic month and a wonderful TGIO party. A lot of the people that I saw last night I won't see again until next Nanowrimo, until October or November. Some of them I might see once, twice, three times if I'm lucky, during the rest of the year. The forums begin to die and the Tonano chat dies with them, slowly but surely.
Christmas is right around the corner and although most of the world is spreading Christmas joy, there are many Nanoers just like me who are crying on the inside because Nanowrimo is over, because the month and the challenge are over, those who will still roam the forums until they shut down again in preparation for next October.
Later today the 'I Wrote A Novel, Now What?' page will go up, and I suggest you take a look through that. Some of the links in my credits post will be repeats if you do check out this page (and it looks anything like last year's) but I feel they are sites that deserve to be linked to multiple times and really deserve a proper look through.
I've been doing some brainstorms and I've decided that I'm going to do a series of short workshops designed to help you edit your novel. I will be asking the Wriye moderators about that and hopefully having a 'Dear Diary' month challenge that works in conjunction with their website in one of the short months of the year.
What you can expect to see from me over the next week or so:
~A 'What I Learned from Nano '09' post talking about my experience this year, because every year I learn something new,
~The 'Credits' post, with which any luck will go up tomorrow, but today is dedicated mostly to schoolwork,
~A 'What Now?' post detailing what my plans look like for 2010 as far as this blog is concerned,
and
~The beginning of my Nanofimo posts, which will detail my process of outlining/figuring out my story and then my writing experience.
I'm also going to be updating the archives with posts from the last two months on the 'Best Of' page that I've created over the course of this weekend and planning out the next year.
The first of December this year brought with it an emptiness, and from that emptiness a spring of new ideas has come forth. I've got all sorts of ideas for expanding this blog in my effort to help you, the readers, join me on my writing journey, but more on those later.
Bye for now,
