Winner! Sort of.

Okay, so NaNoWriMo is finally over. And I won! Technically. I finished with 50,202 words, or somewheres about. I say technically because I had the correct amount of words, but I don't think there were very many good words in that bunch. Over all, just as predicted, this year's NaNo blew majorly, literarily speaking (I know that's not a word. But it fits haha). Since I finally submitted the manuscript to be counted on 11/30, I've been debating just deleting the entire thing. I don't particularly care about any of my characters, and nothing I wrote can't be recreated if needed, you know? Maybe I'll wait a bit on it.

As an official winner of NaNoWriMo this year, though, I am entitled to a free printed copy of my manuscript. I'm really torn between ignoring this, or submitting a previously written manuscript. They wouldn't know, unless they stalked down this blog, but the problem is that I also don't have any finished manuscripts at all. Why do I suck at finishing good things? I think I have until January to submit for "publication," so maybe I can work real quick to try to finish something. I don't know. I think they offered this last year too, and I completely ignored it. I guess nothing lost if I don't do it, right?

I just want to finish something. I guess I should get to work, eh? I need to stop reading fiction and start creating it!

Ugh.
