NaNo NaNo, I'm Nuked







i find my thoughts strained
like puree
maybe strawberry i think

i think idly that would taste good
delish in fact
better than tomato

but its only because i haven't had any in a while

the nano is done
i submitted at 50148 words
but the story
well that might take a while yet

but the brain needs some rewiring
right about now
so short me
or slide me a new one

silver platter is over there
just ready

stop short of the fingers please
they are on auto pilot.

Hi everyone. NaNoWriMo is done and I finished! The event, not the novel. I think I am about 2/3 there. I am taking some time to read and write some poetry before I go back to it!

  6. 50,000 words is a lot of words. After that, no surprise that the brain might need a bit of rewiring. I commend you for your motivation & your accomplishment.

  13. I'd say 2/3 is remarkable. I wasn't aware of the challenge, and I don't think I'd be up to it...I find it difficult to write a poem in a month. I like what you've done here to memorialize the ordeal...silver platter and all!
