:polishes fingernails: Oh yeah. i rule.

Now, er, i have the next few days to actually *finish* it. Which is...

  • Archenland feast

  • - also includes Glozelle bit
  • the rest of Caspian/Peter/Susan situation

  • try and find *somewhere* to insert some of the law stuff and hope like hell I've managed to say something about the gradual tentative integration and clashes in the rest of it.

  • ...Yeah. The integration was what it was supposed to be about originally.
  • epilogue, possibly the wedding morning
  • Win!

    Congratulations!

    I'll have to have another go at NaNoWriMo at some point. I started on a thing a few years ago, but it stalled both due to sudden increase in workload at work and home, and because after the first chapter/1k words the female lead had seen her fiancee shag a sheep and then being raped by a jealous ram. There didn't seem to be much I could do to top that.

    :blink: the most that's ever really happened in my fic is bloody evisceration. Oh, and the horribly painful extended slapstick scene, which was just mental cruelty.

    The first year i tried I ran out of story by the end of week one.

    Excellent!

    (I'm scared to even think about how much work went into it.)

    ...a few hours a night, one of which is spent staring at the screen in procrastination?

    Not to mention hyperventilating about details that don't even end up being more than worldbuilding in my head.

    and then you normally hold the smelling salts under my nose as you treat me for sugar overdose...

    I find it just slightly amusing that every year my mother goes 'do you have to do this, you wreck your sleep even more than usual, you never even try to publish, what's the point?'

    then this year, dad saw the chocolate supplies and went '...do you really need that much chocolate?'
    Mum, without looking up : 'yes, she really does. It's nano.'
