Without a doubt this has been the hardest and most hellish novel writing experience of my life.
Six years and six wins.
But I dare say this has been the hardest win of them all.
So many factors played into the difficultly - health (physical, emotional and mental), school, drama, leading the largest batch of first time Wrimos I have ever done, work, volunteer work, church...on and on.
Each one could have been a "valid" reason to quit.
Every time I got frustrated, closed out of the windows file and just wanted to scream....there was some small little blessing or joy that would help remind me why I torture myself like this.
If I do not write I think I would simply die.
It's so ingrained into me.
It's in my blood.
It is the response I have to so much in life.
As long as I breath I will have a need to write.
Although it seems like with every effort I put more and more of myself into the work and keep coming back so exhausted....but so much joy, so much lovely insanity!
Thank you for reading this blog throughout the month and although Nanowrimo 2012 is over Lame Creations is NOT.
All the latest and greatest in projects will be posted on here.
Thank you again everyone for being you.
For the support.
And the love.
