National Novel Writing Month

11/28/2016

Well, as you can see, I did it, with a couple of days to spare. With my usual lack of foresight, I realised half way through the month that the last few days were full of diary notes. Village activities that I couldn't avoid. I was up to my neck in them. I ended up writing on a couple of evenings. I know that's a thing which you young people have to do but for the retired, the evening isn't available for hard thinking. That's when I read.

In between two other jobs, I added the last few words this lunchtime and clocked up 50,339 in total, taking me over the 50k needed to 'win'. I shall now go away and forget this story until the new year, at least. It needs a lot more work before it's ready to frighten my editor with!

It's a Science Fiction novel, a genre I've read and enjoyed since childhood but I'm new to writing it. It's been an enjoyable experience, though the last few days have felt pressured. Silly really, since the things looming are things I enjoy doing. I just like them spread a little more thinly. I must bear this in mind if I'm tempted to bash out a novel next November!
