rending

Well after trying to play catch up, I posted at 11:59 PM 49,419 so close but not enough for submitting.
I did learn much about writing and myself in the month of November.
1. That I love to write
2. That I can write every single day
3. That I can write a story in 50K. It is past that now.
4. That I have another one brewing already and that makes 5 or more in the works.
5. That I would love to write for a living.
6. That I can do it.

The lessons were more important than the actual submission, but man did I write my ass off trying to make it. I was bereft when finished because I was lonely suddenly without the characters in my everyday life. I have printed one copy and saved the 50K version as itself.

One of the other amazing things I discovered was how much the original inkling of an idea changed. I keep notes of thoughts; some written on paper and some in my laptop and going back through them I'm surprised at how much the characters, story took on a life of their own. It's funny to go back and read some of the first notes and excerpts. The large amount of scribbled notes and research that goes into some of the thoughts. just plain crazy!

I have stepped back for a couple of days from it and it may change again.
