NaNoWriMo Final Week: Sparkly Fairies

5

The sparkly idea fairy of nowhere-land blessed me with a huge surge of inspiration and words a few days ago – and I brought my total up to 94 words under 50k. Funny enough, I didn’t finish those 94 words until until three days later – today. This is probably because, I don’t know, the holidays. Family and stuff.

I ended here:

Which I am pretty dang proud of. More importantly, however, I now know the details of the ending of this book. It was a bit hazy up until now. I feel like I can finish this sucker up in a week or two, and then let it stew for the rest of the year before turning to edits when the new year arises.

In truth, I’ll probably end up editing before that. NaNoWriMo left me with some larger editing issues I need to work out, and fixing them now will give me peace of mind. I found some timeline issues, and there are a few details I need to add to make it look like I didn’t just completely drop the ball on a few plot points.

Which, of course, would never happen! *whistle *

  1. Ah the power of a completed draft! Congratulations! Now that you know the ending, you know the beginning. I always find I need that final chapter written before I can truly know where the story begins!
    Good luck on your editing!

  • Why does publishing your first book ruin your life?

    Okay so this title is a little click-bait-y. But stay with me, because I’ve got a point, an interesting story—and it’s actually positive. This is also going to get personal. Context: if you’ve been following…
