NaNoWriMo 2017: The Final Countdown

It’s an odd thing being finished my 50000 words with so much time to spare. Feels like I haven’t written a thing this year, but in truth, I proved to myself among all else that I could write a novel again. Not only that but I’ve been listening to some podcasts and I’ve also been much more available on social media (because of advice from the Australian Writer’s Centre) and I had a ton of fun not only inspiring others by writing like a maniac but also by supporting others in their own writing trials and tribulations!

As the month winds down, I find myself nostalgic about that which I have just written and for all of the people who won on their first year! I didn’t have it in me to win for my first attempt, but subsequent attempts have gone much better! If you find yourself struggling, let me know, maybe I can help inspire you!

Speaking of inspiration, I was in the shower (like many other writers I hope) when an idea came at me out of nowhere. It was like a snapshot from a movie but it stuck with me all night to the point where I believe this story would predate even my prequel to the start of magic. Technically it’s a form of magic so it fits in with my world but it will be known as an old magic!

Hopefully you folks out there are killing it coming into the final stretch! Good luck and let me know how you went in the comments below!

    Feels strangely odd having finished before end of month with all that extra time after work 🙂 Allowing myself to indulge in gym time, netflix and reading for a couple of days then Ill get some writing done. Keep the habit going 😁

      As I turn into a hermit for December thanks to Christmas in Retail, I fear my writing habit will be definitely few and far between. That being said, I’ve got a fantastic idea for lore building in the same world as all of my other stories, which is pretty exciting!

Drop me a line, wait for my reply!
