Life After NaNo

Yes, it's already December, and NaNo is over for good. Now I'm back to my usual college life without a surge to write more and more like crazy.

...Honestly speaking, I have been missing November already.

Last month was full of craziness. I managed to complete 50,000 words, of course, just several days before the deadline. Well, not really, as I actually had finished a long time ago, if only I counted the words I wrote for the first story.

One crazy thing that happened during NaNo was that I already got bored with my story. The reason is unknown. Supposed I prepared it too much (as a matter of fact, I had heard about NaNo since August) that I already lost my interest since the month began. So, right at the 17th of November, I decided to change my story, ignoring the 25,000 words I had written before. And this story iswell—completely random. I kept changing the characters as I went along. Only the main character I never change, and maybe another one whom I put just because I suddenly realized that the main character needs at least one friend.

And regardless it's completely random, I managed to finish 50,000 words in 10 days. *Hikz* I nearly died remembering it...

A-NY-WAY! The story is not over yet, so I still have to struggle with it for the rest of the year. My target is to finish it at the end of December, or at least January. And I hope I can get a new idea for the title. I suck in making names...

Well, that's for later. For now I have to finish my assignment first. The library will be closed tomorrow, which means I'll have to bring thick books to home. I don't know how I can reach home safely...
