To summarise, this month has been hectic. With the added stress of Nanowrimo, endless coursework, the problem of losing my hearing half-way through the month as well as sorting out a Ucas application meant that certain things had to come first, no matter how brutally they had to hack into my schedule. Truth told- I'm still at 10,000 words of my 'true Nanowrimo' story. If I were to include my other work into the word-count I would probably hit the 50,000 word mark. During the month I must say I was tempted to ctrl+c and ctrl+v all of my written words to get back onto 'target'. I actually did do this at one stage, and for the first five minutes it didn't bother me- after all, the stress was undue and things beyond my control were making me even more 'scatty' than before. After five minutes, I got rid of the copied words and decided to try again. I planned some chapters- (this was what got me to 10,000), but not nearly as enough as I should've done. I guess I feel no remorse that as of yet, I failed Nanowrimo. But then- If I failed at Nanowrimo I would never have started. During the whole month I fell down several disused wells, was bitten by a snake (non-poisonous) and ran for my life several times whilst trying to escape the natives that I had accidentally insulted.
You know the person who said writing Nanowrimo was like crossing Australia? They were right. While most of you are probably chilling in Canberra or sipping soda in Sydney, I'm more than half-way between Perth and Kalgoorlie. It's an alright place, but not where I intended to be this time last month. (give or take a day or half).
Who knew that during the most hectic month so far I would find more things than last month? I know more influential musicians, I still procrastinate (but not as trained as last time) and I accidentally attracted the attentions of a Greek guy (who is quite awesome
I have a few essays to get done for tomorrow, so, signing off,
Luna.
