NaNoWriMo - Completed!

[kungfuwaynewho]

I finished about 8pm on the 30th.  What with NaNo, work, and a big freelance project I finished this past weekend, I ended up taking a bit of a computer sabbatical.  (I was starting to have back pain from sitting at a computer for pretty much the entire day for two weeks, heh.)  I'm not even at my act one break point from my outline, so I'm not really sure what the structure of this novel is going to end up being, but I'm just going to keep writing and see where I end up. 

Have started working on a new screenplay idea that I'm very excited about.  Doing some research first because it's a period piece, and I like to let the story itself percolate for a bit before I get started; let my subconscious mind do some of the heavy-lifting.  And then I have two screenplays from last year to revise, and maybe a new TV pilot, if I have the time.  (Hahahaha.) 

Anyway, my life is terribly boring right now.  What with work, second work, and writing, my fandom presence is basically nonexistent these days.  I'm not in any active landcomms anymore, and I haven't written fic in months.  Which means this online social sphere is essentially dead.  This is something I'm very sad about, to be honest, but there's not much to be done about it.  Sometimes I think I'd like to drop the second job, but the money is very useful, especially as it's becoming clear that we're probably going to need to buy a new washing machine.  (Sigh.)  Ah well.

Huuuge congrats, that is a wonderful achievement! And that always happens to me too, 50k might get done but is not nearly enough to finish the actual story :p

Those other writing projects sound very interesting and awesome too, I wouldn't even know where to start with a period piece!

Congrats on finishing NaNoWriMo! 2nd job? I'm out of the loop. What are you second jobbing as? Should I just go check pftt?

Oh, don't be sad! That just how life goes)) But... as of fic... faith manages ;)

CONGRATS, BB!

Don't worry about not being around; livejournal (or at least my corner of it) has reached its absolute low, so it's not like you're missing anything. Now is the perfect time for not being around. That said, please do come back. :P

Good luck with all the writing! I have absolute faith on you.

I'm deeply impressed. *yay* for finishing your NaNoWriMo story. That's great!

Sometimes RL takes over. And then suddenly out of the blue Onlineland sucks you in again. Don't be bothered by it. It isn't worth it.

Congrats! Life is such a time suck, isn't it? I can't imagine two jobs, barely being able to manage one! I find period pieces both enthralling (research!) and intimidating (details!) Good luck with all and don't be a complete stranger, eh?

Congratulations! And I'm sorry for copping out on reviews so early; I haven't really been interacting with LJ lately either. Good luck with your new projects!
