Turns out that changing a job can equal task completion! I’ve removed all of the goals I had in regards to my old acquisitions job, and I’m still considering whether or not to replace them with new librarian goals.
Other than that, I participated in National Novel Writing Month again this year. I also failed to win NaNoWriMo again this year. I actually completed writing the story I had in mind though, so I’m not especially heartbroken. I’m working on editing it now for practice, not out of any disillusions of it seeing the light of day. I also have a few friends that wanted to see it when I finished, and I can’t bear to let them see the original meandering mess that it was. Somehow my story of pirate werewolves fighting vampire cowboys turned into a romance, the pirates turned into raiders and the cowboys into bounty hunters, my love interests became the villains, and Jewish vampire hunters showed up.
This is what I get for not plotting it out ahead of time.
…who am I kidding, I like being surprised by my characters and love how the plot turned out. Even though it wasn’t supposed to look like THAT.
