So November is over. It passed by rather more quickly than I thought it would, and now I’m in the uncomfortable position of having twenty two days until Christmas, with approximately six weeks worth of projects to complete.
It’s really very strange, but I feel disproportionately guilty that I haven’t been writing more of the book since midnight on Thursday. Apparently this is very common after NaNoWriMo finishes, and can sometimes take months to pass! I don’t somehow think that it would take me that long to get over the feelings, but there is certainly a period of readjustment. My therapy will be the extensive cleaning and clearing out of old and unwanted toys which will be taking place over the next week in preparation for the Christmas decorating next weekend and the mounds of new toys which will inevitably need house space in only a few short weeks.
As yet I haven’t decided whether to even look at the book again, or whether just to disregard it as any more than a November project which has now come to an end. Lulu.com are offering NaNoWriMo winners a free paperback copy of their book, but the deadline for this is not until the middle of January, and so I think I’d be fairly safe to leave any decision about whether I’d like to see ‘Shortcut to the Highlife’ in print until the end of the month.
