Failed NaNoWriMo

As the subject says, I completely failed NaNoWriMo. To my credit, a lot of this was due to A, a ridiculously lousy class where my teacher has failed at teaching us because he had surgery, so I spent about 2 weeks in November studying to try and catch up, and B, the fact that I got my wisdom teeth out three days ago, and as soon as I start concentrating on one thing for more than 5 minutes, I start falling asleep. (So fair warning, this blog might turn into "And so then I wasssssssssssssssssssssss"...)

I also screwed up by trying to write my Greek story in the wrong tone. I went for a more depressing opening, which just screwed me up for the rest of the story. It's a lot harder for me, also, because I've never written a story with a plot line, let alone 4 books of plot line. Usually I have a general idea of what I want the story to be, but the characters, the situations, they all come as I write. I don't like planning stories out. I have all this pressure to make sure everything is put in, to make sense for the later books. This is very difficult for me, but good practice.

I'm also working on another one-shot, which has been coming along much smoother than the Greek story. (And already have another one-shot planned for a continuation of this "world" I'm creating, which is good.)

Ah...just like I suspected, I'm getting very tired again. So I'm going to leave this blog on a "Uhhh, what?" note because I'm all drugged up.
