Just throwing this up to sign off on my absolute happiness at just completing nanowrimo this year. I finished maybe 10 minutes ago and I am completely elated. My word count finished at 50048, and as my story isn't actually complete, I will continue to add to it over the next few days.
After this entire process, I am extremely proud in that I can always look back on this and go "If I really want to do something, it is possible." The quality needs some improvement and I know heavy editing will be a must. But Just having an almost finished book is nice. Only about another 40-50k and I should have a complete novel that if nothing else, will say that I had the ability to write one.
I know dark carnival finished before me so congrats to him again, and for any others still writing. Happy fighting. For those not partaking in it, do so next year, It is such a good experience.

Um, can you please explain what nanowrimo actually is for people who have no idea, like me?

When its done possible.
But that is because it is inspired in its initial concept off TL mafia games

Wait, so you wrote an entire novel in 3 days? That sounds really hardcore. Good job, but I bet you have a ton of editing ahead.

I really want to read this. You wrote it so fast you probably skipped several chapters without even noticing.
|
Oh god damn it, I completely forgot and haven't even started. I knew this would happen again

dont be proud of your book until you get really critical people to read it and tell you it doesnt suck. Seriously, friends/family might give you a false impression.

Grats! My friend's sitting next to me at the moment struggling to finish his last few thousand words haha.
|
Jesus christ man that is impressive. I'd like to read this just to see how coherent it is and if it actually all fits.
|
haha, Its coherent, parts of it are like, me rambling on for word count. Im still missing prob around 20-30k to complete the novel, but the actual word count i had to hit is done. As for quality. Until I get a chance to edit it a crapload of times, it will be kinda shoddy. I know a few problem areas that need some real attention, but after 28 days of this, I need a break for a few days.
