Also, back in November, I was writing. A lot. I'm pretty sure I was averaging 2k+ a day up until the very end - where I went from 1400 if I was lucky to about 4,000 on December 3rd (that WONDERFUL day when I finished the first draft of Empty Alibi!)
Yeaaaah, guys. My writing and blogging have both been kind of pathetic since then. But yesterday, I stumbled across a lovely thing called...DOOM.*
It's not as intimidating as it sounds. xD
DOOM, from what I understand, is basically NaNoWriMo without as much of the stress and insanity and whole 50k-in-a-month thing. No, it's 50k in two months. I can definitely do that. Another thing about is is that it doesn't have to be a new story you're working on - which means Empty Alibi draft 2 is going down in the next two months.
I've been trying to edit this monster of a novel for two months, guys. Three if you count the plotting and character development I did immediately post-NaNo. But I keep getting stuck. And I'm hoping that this is something that will help me get going.
I love this story. I love it with all its flaws, all its messy sentences, all its confusing plot twists and inconsistent characters. Bethany and co. have been on my mind since last April, and when I finally began to try and understand their story back in October, they promptly took up residence in my heart. Stubborn bunch that they are, they won't be leaving soon. :P
And I'm quite alright with that. I mean. Look at them!

*DOOM started three days ago. Oops. But I didn't find out about it till yesterday? xD
