grape_sodaSo, despite the fact that I didn't finish, this year's was a very productive NaNoWriMo. I managed to get 12,700 words out of 50,000, which isn't too bad considering I'm such a horrible procrastinator. Also, I finally got to write the story I've had buzzing in my head since I was in high school XD It was supposed to be a real fairy tale, but it turned out as a comedy and more satirical than anything, poking fun at all the weird stuff that happens in fairy tales that makes no sense (especially ones about princesses) and all the stupid cliches.
I'm so, so happy with this story, mostly because it's so personal (nearly every character was inspired heavily by someone I went to high school with X3 especially King Jules, who is based on my friend Calvin, who never walks but runs and never talks but screams and every time he sees me, he sneaks up on me and swings me in circles and since he's so tall and I'm short, I can't do anything about it. I swear, he's crazy XD). Just in case I forgot to mention before, it's about a princess who has to pretend to be a prince so she can be heir to the throne and keep her family's birthright. Which of course = madness and hilarity.
If anyone is interested in reading part or all of the story that I have written so far, they can click here ;D If anyone decides to read it, tell me what you think?
Anyway, you should all tell me all about your NaNo stories and your triumphs, terrors, and heartbreak while writing them. And if any of you finished, good for you! I'm so proud!
Now to focus on Christmas shopping... 8D And work *totally not looking forward to work today*
PS: can anyone here think of a good title for a story about a crossdressing princess? I'm stumped.
