Today marks the day where I am officially 1/5th of the way done with my novel. As in, 1/5th of the 50k word goal for Nanowrimo has been met.
That's fucking awesome. This is easily the longest story I've managed to write. Normally I get to 5k and either end up bored with it myself or scared to put more effort into it. I'm a short story kind of girl. I like to get my thoughts expressed concisely.
Then again, maybe I haven't yet found a character worth more than a measly 5k.
This character though, is definitely worth it. At this 10k mark I feel like I haven't even gotten to really delve into what makes her amazing. Which is good. Instead of just water ballooning the reader in the face with it, I'm digging up fossils.
How do I feel at this milestone? Good. Really good. And excited but nervous for the rest of it.
What am I drinking to celebrate? Fox Barrel's Blackberry Pear Cider.
It's delicious.
How can you say no to delicious?
PS- Everyone should watch Wonderfalls. Everyone should also watch Red Dwarf. This has been your PSA for the night.
