#NaNoWriMo 2019 Complete
Okay, so NaNoWriMo 2019 is not over YET, but it will be for me, and others in the Eastern Time Zone, in seven hours and thirty-two minutes as I type this right now.
How am I doing?
Well, here were my goals:
“Plot out the second early chapter book in a fantasy, write the draft (about 9,000 words), create a map of the world, and create character charts for the main characters and reoccurring minor characters.”
I completed the plotting of the second book, plus got an idea for a third. (Check!)
Of the 9,000 words, I’m at 4,100 words. I will probably end up around 11-12,000. As I started, I began figuring I’ll be in the 9-12,000 range for this book. I’m not happy about reaching my goal, but without NaNo, I don’t think I would’ve gotten to 4,100 (plus the 4-600 I’ll add later tonight).
Create a map: Okay, it’s a really bad map, but it’s good enough for what I needed. It basically looks like a crooked compass rose with locations on it, but, like I said, it’s what I needed and it works.
Character charts: I created charts for the main two characters, and basic ones for three minor characters. I do need to go more in depth with them (as well as the map) and I will once I’m done with the first draft. I figure this will help me with the revision process and make sure I keep the characters in line with who they basically were in the first book, and who they grew in to. It’ll also help make sure I kept places around the same areas.
How about you? How did your 2019 NaNoWriMo go?
