So I don't write much. I've written a total of two prose stories since highschool, both a few pages long, and only one of them readable(*). Thus I have never considered doing NanoWriMo.
But as it happens I was inspired to write for the first time in ages this month, and am thus remarkably happy with my final count of about 5,000 words, even if it is 1/10th of a NaNovel :) Not that I'm planning on stopping there, but it is the last day of November and all the Nano counts made me curious as to what mine was.
Was unfortunately too sick for Swancon picnic :( Still, I'm feeling a bit perkier now, and I think I've figured out the problem: the new regime I'm on does help my chronic fatigue a bit, but it does more to remove some of the symptoms I was relying on to tell me when I was pushing myself too hard. Despite this leading to me feeling very buggered today, I refuse to see the removal of pain as a downside :)
(*)Although looking back over it again...I was very young when I wrote it ok? Like, teenage-ish young. No more than one-and-twenty. Also, remembering to back then, I had someone make the "Any first person narrator must be a direct portrayal of the authors mental state right now" fallacy, I'm glad they never read my next story, from the POV of a murderous shape shifting alien :)
