One Month Later...

I am back.



If you're wondering what NANOWRIMO is, I made an earlier post about it that has more information. Alternatively, feel free to visit the official website -- http://www.nanowrimo.org

What it really means though, is this:
30 days of living, breathing, eating, prodding, twisting, and hallucinating a work of original fiction. Friends being put on hold in favor of another hour on the keyboard. Family members spewing on about misplaced priorities. Copious amounts of caffeine. Writing on anything within reach that stands still long enough. Walking around with a mad, sleep-deprived gleam in the eyes while muttering dialogue.

Ah, sheer bliss.

This year, I hit 50,117 words on day 28. Took a little longer than last year, but still pretty good for somebody who had never before gone beyond the 10k mark on a piece of original fiction.

And now it's back to the real world.

I really need to figure out what to put on this blog.
