Well, NaNoWriMo 2010 is officially over for me this year. Interesting how the win was so important to me last year, but not this year. I thought I had it in the bag for sure, and I should have. I easily type almost 2K words in a single hour. No idea why I couldn't pull it off this year. I suppose I allowed myself to be distracted too easily? I may or may not attempt it next year. I don't know yet. I suppose I'll find out then.
I finished up at 35,011. Oddly enough, I see this book easily reaching 60K and maybe more. However, the pressure is off to write it and I can revert to taking my time and editing a bit as I go without feeling guilty. ;-)
Oh! I was writing some messages out on Writing.com and I think I found out why I didn't win. About what? Halfway through, I started wishing it was over already so I could move on with my new dreams and hopes. Hopes and dreams that were going to take a lot of work, that's for sure! In the end, I may very well have sabotaged myself so I would have an excuse to throw in the towel early and move on. To tell you the truth, that feels like the right answer. I could see myself doing that. :-P
Yeah. I'm working on becoming published now, and I'm being serious about it this time. As Beverly said in Eureka in an episode, "Talking is easy. Doing is hard." So, that's what sabotaged my NaNoWriMo win this year. That might be why I was wondering why I felt okay with losing when I should have felt bad. I'm moving on to bigger and better things. LOL Sorry, had to laugh at the cliche. I just pictured myself standing on the edge of a cliff, a breeze blowing my hair back, and I'm standing there with a straight back with the most officious look on my face like I was better than everyone else. lol Too funny. What makes that so darn funny is that I know I have a long way to go. I know I'm not better than anyone else, and that I make oodles of errors. Besides, the last time I checked, everyone could get better at what they do. ;-)
Now! It's time to end this lovely post and this lovely blog. I have officially moved over to my own website! That's what I've been doing this week. It might change before too long. I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing at the moment. So! Without further ado, if you'd like to keep tagging along, I'm now at www.erinjroberts.com. Don't be surprised if the URL goes down in the next few days. I'm seriously thinking of switching my hosting over to a paid site so I can make it "fancier" so that it reflects me better. Maybe. I'm still thinking about it. :-D
Until then, see ya!
