Okay, okay. I'm woman enough to admit it. I failed hard.

Most of you likely know this, but for the folks who don't - I'm ADD. Somehow, in challenging Chaz to prove himself and then offering to compete with him, I miraculously forgot this one important factoid. It's hard enough for a normal person to focus on one thing for 12 straight hours. For me, it's downright impossible. My brain shut down and refused to function within the first four hours. Even after I tried doing something else and it rebooted, it bluescreened whenever I thought about going back to the new story. (Yes, my brain is a crappy Windows machine. You can't tell me you're surprised.)

So, I failed at writing 50k in 24 hours.

However. Before my brain dissolved into a steaming pile of mush, I was writing at a pace of over 2k an hour. And it was not a steaming pile of feces, either.

Which means that, had I made it all 24 hours - I would've had 50k at the end.

After NaNoWriMo, and after Jubagh is finished, I am trying this thing again. I'll leave myself a few days to write 24 individual hours, in whatever increments won't make my head essplode, and see if I can make 50k.

Granted, I won't be able to say "I wrote fifty thousand words in a day!"

But "I wrote fifty thousand words in twenty-four hours!" sounds just as impressive. *grin*

I'll keep you posted on when I try to drive myself insane again. It'll likely be after December.

Oh Chaaaaaz~! What was your end result, O Claimer Of The Impossible?

Epic fail as well. Although, I still believe I am full capable of 50k in 24.

Welcome! I'm Kusani - a lioness-woman, an animistic pagan, and a newly-published novelist. You'll find the whole spectrum spattered here: entries range from deep-thinking philosophy and spirituality, to self-analysis, to the random events of my life, to silly things like memes and quizzes. I also post most of my creative writing here (unlocked), some icons, and some artwork.
