IBantics Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 So, I decided I would try to finally win NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, for CAS this year. I love writing, and it's something I've wanted to win for a long time (about 4 years now). Needless to say, it flopped even more spectacularly than the previous three years combined. So, where did I go wrong? It possibly had something to do with the fact that I've got a lot of work all of a sudden (even if I don't really- I'm still waiting for the EE and the IAs to come crashing down on me after Christmas... >.>), and that my music started becoming much more time-consuming and serious in recent weeks, so I just haven't had time to work on it. I've been working hard for my singing, since we've got a lot of concerts and events coming up, and I've been practicing piano too (although not nearly as frequently as I should be). Or it possibly has something to do with the fact that I was side-tracked by one Mr. Otto von Bismarck over there (I'm looking at you, A.J.P Taylor!). History HL anyone? I love it, but it also caused me to start a new story halfway through the month, and those of you who know about NaNo know that that really doesn't help with the word count. I decided to rebel and count the two stories for NaNo, since I threw the NaNo rulebook out the window a few years ago anyway. Nothing has worked for me this year (I blame IB for that, mostly. >.>), but I decided to enjoy it anyways, since next year I probably won't have time for it, between EE, IAs, and college applications. So, have any of you got NaNo stories to share? I'd love to hear them. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomenclature Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) I got 8000 words as I had to do it for during my sophomore year (one year before IB) in my creative writing class (8000 was near the bottom of the range for my class so I was quite bad. I am really meticulous and speed and writing don't go together for me). Once in IB, I wasn't as daring (foolhardy?) as you to attempt such a thing. I had already resigned myself at that point. So be proud of yourself. Edited November 26, 2017 by Nomenclature Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
