I made it! It was a rough month full of all kinds of obstacles IRL, a lot of stressors that really sapped my creative energy. There are plenty of days just getting my 1667 was a slog and those passages are likely absolute trash, but I still pushed through. It's been mentally exhausting and I wasn't sure I was going to make it at one point, but hey...
Yes, I know I'm behind schedule, but I'll get there! If you'd like to read an excerpt of my novel -- an Arthurian Fiction about the journey of Excalibur from forging to Merlin's hands -- you can do so here!
To all you out there doing NaNo this year under crazy stressful life conditions... YOU GOT THIS. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. I BELIEVE IN YOU. No matter how many words you get down, you are a success.
MAY THE PAPER OR SCREEN RISE TO MEET YOU
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR FINGERS
AND UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN
MAY THE MUSES HOLD YOU IN THE PALMS OF THEIR HANDS
I haven't done #Nanowrimo in years, but my therapist strongly encouraged me to get back into writing since it's so much a part of who I am. So, here we go, word fans.
I'm brushing off an old project and reworking it from the ground up, basically a retelling of the origins of Excalibur.
