NaNoWriMo 2009 Or How I Wrote a Novel(la) in Fifteen Days

I also considered "Or How I Shot Past 50,000 Words While Waiting to Watch Doctor Who".

Seriously, why am I not watching it yet?!

So yeah, I'm done. 53,415 words in total. My neck hurts and my fingers are cold.

But I have a novel! A very crappy novel that totally wanders in the middle because I had no idea what I was writing, but a novel nonetheless. My first year of NaNoWriMo and I made it! Well ahead of schedule, too. That I didn't do on purpose. I just really got into a groove and I just kept going. It was kind of fun, just writing. No thinking whether what you're writing is crap, no second guessing yourself, no going back to edit. I'll have to do that next, editing, but I might wait a few days. I need to regain my sanity first. ;-)

The beginning of the end

Seven months without any new Doctor Who and now we only have two episodes left. I'm kind of depressed now. It's the beginning of the end.

( Spoilers for The Waters of Mars )

Okay, the trailer. It hit the internet before I was able to watch the episode so I've time to think about it.

( Spoilers for the Coming Soon trailer )

Sigh, only two more episodes. At least the Doctor is wearing the brown suit for his last story, with no tie no less. :-)
