This year's NaNoWriMo was a mixed bag. I did indeed write the 50k words required to "win" - but what was written has a lot to be desired. This year's story has a lot of potential... I wrote a ghost story and told it in journal entries, letters, and other documents. The past history of the girl (now ghost) is revealed slowly in letters written by her mother and grandmother, and other documents, interwoven with diary entries, letters, and transcripts of messages of the girl in the now (well... the now of 1992, since I wanted to stay in the time before e-mail was common). The characters are good, the idea is good, some of the documents are great, and I hope to revisit it one day... But in the moment what the product is......well....... it's pretty awful to be downright honest. But it's written!
