NaNoWriMo 2009 – Day 29

Day 29 stats:

Min. Daily Average Word Count: 1,667

Word Count Goal: just over 3,000

Actual Word Count: 3,045

Daily Word Count Score (words in excess of min daily average): +1,378

Total Word Count Score: 50,067

Chapters complete: 21

With a day to spare, I inched my way across the 50,000 work goal and promptly collapsed. Yes, I could spend another day stringing together yet more verbiage that will most likely never get used…or I could get back to the rest of my life that I essentially ignored this month. I’m leaning towards the latter.

My head’s still swimming from the experience, and I hope to post some thoughts about it (as well as lessons learned) later. For now, I’m just thrilled to have finished my first novel. It’s something I never thought I would do.

So ends my first NaNoWriMo adventure, and, yeah, I’m already looking forward to next year!

A History and Future of Collaborative Storytelling

This is my (un)scientific, (non-)comprehensive, and (not at all) objective overview of the rise of collaborative storytelling: how we (more or less) got here, and where we may (kinda sorta) be heading. No particular axe to grind or agenda to sell, just my observations after watching this space for a few years. Buckle up, this […]
