I have to admit I'm more than a little intimidated at the prospect of churning out 50,000 words in a month. I suppose if I could just talk instead of write I'd do it easily, but coming up with a coherent story is going to be a challenge. Part of the challenge is that my wife has her Masters in some kind of literature, and is a professional writer/editor. Since the story isn't supposed to be polished I'll probably be ok, but she may start redlining everything.
I'm also taking a little vacation (just a week) in November, hopefully 4.3 will drop "soon".
All in all I've been really satisfied with the Firelands, and I even got to hop in and heal H-Bael (which was nice). I was a little undergeared, but hey, that's what makes it exciting. I'm rapidly approaching the magical mitigation/avoidance cap in my prot set, though my ret gear is in a poor state. It doesn't help when we have 2 plate main spec DPSers in the raid. With the changes to the LFR loot system (which I approve of), I may have to do some runs in my off-specs just to help bump up the old iLvl.
So here's my support for everyone who's participating in NaNoWriMo, my prayers for an early 4.3 launch, and my double prayers for an early Diablo 3 launch.
I wrote a short story of some 55k words last year, and it was hard work. If you can stick at it, all credit to you!
ReplyDeleteI entered the Blizzard writing competition a few weeks ago, with a more modest tale of about 7k words. Here's hoping someone likes my story. Well, you never know!
