I'm aware tumblr is less of a space for original work. And I'm also aware that NaNoWriMo doesn't exist anymore (for very good reason!). But I originally got back into tumblr through writing (fanfic), so I still have to share this:
I just completed a NaNoWriMo (equivalent)!
Never thought I'd be able to do that, but I just proved myself wrong. I don't have a finished novel, in fact, I'm probably only halfway through it at this point. But I did write just over 52,000 words in only 1 month. No idea if they're good words and how to go forward now, but I'm super proud of myself for this!
#Scrivener is an awesome writing tool btw#can highly recommend#one time reasonable payment after a very lenient trial period#tons of functionality and tutorials too#anyway I don't want to make this an ad lol#52k is longer than my longest fanfic and I'm so pleased with myself for having finished this in only a month#the average of 1667 words per day are absolutely not sustainable long term#but for this one month I did it#probably going to lower it to 500 and see where this gets me#and I'm so happy to see these characters I've had in my head for the better part of a decade finally come to life#some are very different than what I thought they would be#but that's writing#the words on the page have a will of their own haha#maybe someday Raha and Fox and Satir can come alive on a shelf in a book store#maaaaybe#they don't have to#writing itself was the goal#and it's been great#writing#nanowrimo#in case I ever talk about this original story again I'm going to tag this Lost Creation#which is the very rough title of this world#Lost Creation
