Well, Lynn did it. At 2 AM Sunday moring, 30th of November, she passed the 50,000 word mark of NaNoWriMo.
And then promptly rewarded myself with cookie dough and sleep. I intend to get another thousand or so today, to make it looke good, but I'm just glad I finished. To all those NaNo-ers out there who have finished or will by midnight tonight, congrats. Not many can do what we do!
Now I have the biggest urge to go back to plotting, character development, and making trailers and what not for See It through. I've written some of the major scenes, after I gave up on writing the story in chronological order. So far I have from the beginning up until the crew lands on the first planet and Ian, Rei, and Silver go around ordering supplies for the rest of the trip. Then the story skips to the longboat ride the three take together and continues through Mr. Arrow's death, and the tender scene between Ian and Rei when Ian is blamed for the First Mate's fate. THen comes a small snippet of Ian describing the glories of his older brother to Rei, and then it switches to when Rei gets sick after the doctor, captain and the two teens crash land on the disappearing planet, and goes through until the point where Ian begs Rei to not die and to "see it through" after meeting Ben and finding a place to hide.
And that's where the story leaves off. In the next month, I plan to add in the rest, anbd hopefully get to write the epic ending that I'm so anxious to write.
The only thing I'm dreading is what my English teacher will say. I get extra credit for completing NaNo, but only if she gets to read my work. And anyone who knows me can testify that letting others read my work is the the I hate the most. Especially when my writing is in a bunch of shattered incoherant pieces like it is now.
But meh, I think that's all i have to say for now. I'll check in later.
Bye bye for now,
~Lynn
