NaNoWriMo 2011 Wrap Up Post
Nov. 27th, 2011 05:46 pmPart 1 of the finale
Part 2 of the finale
It's done. 50341 words later, I'm done with my third book. The Undeniable Clawmark of Basira Nejem, Ultra Genius.
It's a first person journal account of an elven gunner/engineer who invents non-magic powered flight told in a self-aggrandizing style. It's an exercise in first person narrative and narcissism. Basira is certifiably batshit.
Again, I'd no idea what would happen in this story, beyond "Elf gunner chick invents planes, saves day" and made it all up as I went along. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. I feel I do my best work when making it up as I go. I know this method isn't for everyone, but it's what I feel works for me.
The book takes place in the same world as my past two projects, which should be rehosted elsewhere soon. Prior knowledge of these two books is not needed for this one. I'm going to work on compiling notes from all this and making a lot of worldbuilding notes these coming months before revising and publishing. Obviously, a lot of what is in these now are filler and placeholders, but they can be easily changed.

The average wordcount was 2289 for LibreOffice count and 2288 for Official count spread across 22 days. 5 were taken off for personal/health reasons.
Each one of these projects, I improve by leaps and bounds and am always proud of myself for doing this, despite any woes or hardships.
I need a drink.
