sherrydramseyWell, that's another NaNoWriMo over with, another 50k+ words written--and another partial novel to add to the stack. I do believe that next year I am going to--gasp!--write an outline and just see if I can get to "The End."
I've done it a couple of times in the past (gotten to the end, not used an outline), and those were the most satisfying NaNoWriMo experiences for me. Going back to finish is really, really difficult. I am still resolved to finish some of the other incomplete drafts, but it's a goal that seems very elusive.
So, despite my past bad experiences with outlines, I think I might just try it again. Maybe with a looser, more flexible and fluid outline this time.
This is not to say that I'm unhappy with NaNoWriMo 2012--the story is quirky and funny and has a lot of potential. Definitely one I want to finish; it just has to get in line. :)
Anyway, now it's back to the rewrite to finish that up by my deadline. Oh, and a little thing called Christmas.
