That Was The NaNo That Was
Wednesday, December 16th, 2020 03:26 pmI never did post my NaNo results, did I?
Well, my modified, revised, and thoroughly laid-back goal was simply to get Lightning Strikes Twice moving again. I did the first 50K of it in NaNo 2018, dropped it like a hot rock on November 30th, and hadn't touched it since. (I started 2018's NaNo already burned out, which was not the brightest move ever.) So getting it booted up again in my brain was an undertaking in its own right.
And... success! Of a sort, anyway. I re-read the prequel, re-read the book-so-far, solved a couple of minor obstacles, and wrote 3910 new words. Not a lot by NaNo standards, but enough to count as revivifying the beast. That got me up to the next major scene break -- at which point it was a bit like having to start the book all over again, but that's been December's challenge.
So, I call win. Yay!
