Nanowrimo 2006: Day 8

Well, crap. Nanowrimo sounded like such a great idea, but school just doesn't understand good ideas. I'm throwing in the towel, after getting four consecutive days behind; however, I've learned a few things about writing that I didn't really know before this.

Although it seems like a good idea, trying to write 50,000 in a month is really bad for my head. I can't let the writing come, and I feel like I am forcing every line and sentence, and that's not good for the creative process.

School always takes precedence in my life right now. Even if I have the most amazing idea for a novel, I will simply work on it when I get the time. I'm not giving up on the novel, just giving up on Nanowrimo.

The final thing I've learned is that Final Fantasy XII plus Guitar Hero II will ruin every plan in the world. That's just how it works.

Even with the resignation of Nanowrimo, I will still continue to work on my novel, The Marigold Magician. I would still appreciate your words of encouragement, and I would also appreciate anyone who would like to proofread what I write. If you want to, just leave a comment with a way to contact you.
