Well, here we are. My first NaNoReNo! The first visual novel to be released with my name somewhere on it! Oh em gosh.
A few scrambled thoughts on the experience:
- I'd never worked with a team before...It was fun, and it felt beneficial to have other people to bounce ideas off of. I felt a little bit of the fangirl-ish awe, since I admired the work my team members had done previously, and I also felt like they were way more experienced than me...But I'd definitely do it again, and perhaps they won't mind working together again next year?
- I learned from my fellow writer kaleidofish that working off an outline is so much easier than just winging it. Must adopt.
- As a co-writer, I was a bit worried about clashing styles, but I don't think it clashed much...There was editing, of course, but overall it seemed like it went together well. Although I have an occasional overuse of ellipses.
- For unrelated reasons, I was really depressed throughout the month of March, and it did hurt my productivity at first, but slowly I bounced back. Joining a writing group helped as well. Since joining one, my productivity has skyrocketed.
- I found out that I have a habit of tilting my head to the left while writing.
I definitely want to try doing it again next year! I feel like I've learned some things, and next year's experience will be even better!
