A new year, a new blog, same mess of a writer. |
Date: 12.01.18 -- Day 110 (NaNo WC Overall: 70,436) Music: "War Anthem" / Max Richter & "The Curse" / Agnes Obel I am a 2018 NaNoWriMo winner! 70,436 words. Words that took so much out of me that I cannot think to write again with any coherence. I will as my mind is still whirling, but maybe not for a day or two. Regardless, it's done. A solid win. A messy, jumbled, hectic win. But a win. My first time crossing this finish line in the nine years since I've started this. Boom. Since writing anything else on the experience will be for another day, I assembled the playlist I used to during the writing sprints. It's one of those things that just kind of came together when I started writing after that first slump. It's a bit discordant because the theme of the story is a bit of the same. Based around a protagonist who has lived thousands of years with no end in sight, the slightly jarring nature of the songs comes from what she feels when everything goes from a stagnant life to one filled with constant upheaval. A touch of melancholy and quiet, simmering anger. NaNoWriMo 2018 Playlist Max Richter "War Anthem" (linked above) Ursine Vulpine ft.
