So a week ago right about now I finished the first draft of my NaNoWriMo novel. See my fancy badge over there? Yay me!

At the time it all felt rather underwhelming, honestly. Almost anti-climactic.

But since then, and you’ll think this is silly I have no doubt, but since then I’ve felt different. I see things, some of the time, with a different set of eyes. I read something in the paper or overhear people talking and I start imagining the events fit into one of my stories, usually with a twist.

Its cool. I don’t know how to keep this feeling, though, and I fear it’ll slip away. I guess I just have to keep on writing!

  1. Definately keep on writing. I got that feeling to stay by doing short stories and more often than not flash fiction (stories under 1000 words). If you write short stories you’ll find the editing process of your novel will go by quicker and will prepare you for writing another novel by beefing up your writing skills.

    Keep at it!
