Well, I suppose I could have actually posted something about it while I was doing it. I entered for the first time ever. I did win managing nearly 78k.
Here’s the link to my NaNoWriMo Profile
I was thinking about blogging the chapters but some people informed me that if I ever seek publishing that first publishing rights are a big deal I guess. If I blog my story it’s considered the first publishing. Which means I would get less money, that is assuming it’s ever in a publishable form and someone actually wish to publish it. I figured I would get some opinions as to whether or not it would be worth while to edit, rewrite, and polish so I’m still debating. I mean most people wait years to see their stuff published, and some never do. Then there’s the rejection slips. Not that I would be that bothered but it would mean that people won’t get to read it for years or not at all. So I risk losing first publishing money if I blog it. But then I risk not letting people read it if I don’t.
Right now I settled on emailing to friends or anyone who feels they would like to read it. I doubt many do, and it’s probably complete trash, but if you ever have an urge to read what’s in my head sometimes — uhfgood -+=AT=+- verizon -+=DOT=+- net
Don’t feel just because I typed this out you have to read it. It’s just some online friends have heard about me doing this and the fact I wrote 78k words in 30 days impresses them ;-)

Well, I’m impressed, and I would love to read it.

I still haven’t read it. Moving, working long hours at the day job, and Christmas all conspire to put me in a horrible state of mind when I finally get home at the end of the day.

That’s ok. No one will probably really read it. I am considering how I’m going to rewrite it. Although that will probably be a long process as starting January 1st, I’ve pledged myself to finish Enchanted Lands…
in a month ;-)
Sans some content.
