Last year was by far my favorite - and most intense -
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) year to date. Because I had completed the six years of NaNo prior, I decided to up the ante and do two complete 50,000 word novel manuscripts, so 100,000 words.
The two novels I did that year were
Black Earth: Dark Masquerade, and
Black Earth: Bridge to Anaisha - the third and fourth novels in my Black Earth series.
Dark Masquerade was published a few months ago, and
Bridge to Anaisha will be released (hopefully) next month.
I set
Skyrim as my motivation for completing 100,000 words that year. I figured I would either get the game as a Christmas gift or get it via other means, and so I set myself up to be able to play it for a couple days once I did complete NaNo and receive the game, which I did. I actually had this as my desktop wallpaper that year, envisioning my NaNo goal as the slain dragon. What made it even better is the whole Nord getup actually matched the viking theme that NaNo has been encompassing the past few years now.
It was an epic year, and to top it off, I managed to complete the 100,000 (100,084 to be exact) word goal in only 16 days!
