National Novel Writing Month

How is everyone doing?

I wrote and wrote last night, until I almost fell asleep in my chair.
I am caught up... sadly the slaps will stop. Well until I fall behind again, that may happen today as I have some other projects that need my attention.

I'm still behind but it's only noon and I've written 1800 words today. Still going. I think I can catch up. I have a light work week next week and plan to use that to my NANO advantage.

Also getting past the more research heavy part of the novel, so that should help things move ahead more quickly...

Yeah baby! I did it. After 5 years after my first attempt at NanoWrimo, I finished, and finished early.

I hit 48464 Thursday night before midnight. I got up and wrote the prologue to the first book of a 3 part series; took a little over two hours, took a nap and then the last 500+ over about 4 hours this afternoon. Wow, wow, wow, what an experience!!! The hardest part was the start, and the finish.

I'm so freakin' excited. Now to keep on, edit, prepare for submission to... well... every freakin' where!

Ciao!!!

Congratulations to everyone who finished!!!!!!!!

I bottomed out and didn't get there. We had a family situation come up mid month that took me away from everything for a good week and a half and there was just no way to make up for that time.

I'll be back on next year.

So happy to have found this thread!

I made my word count, and came skidding across the finish line at month's end with just over 54,000 words! It was quite literally a month of madness! Being in that creative energy was great! I still need to finish the story-- no ending in sight... the plot staggers from side to side like a gun shot victim on open seas , but there are *moments* that I really like, having revisited it just recently.

Anyone interested in giving some feedback? I could use a brave beta reader who wouldn't mind plowing through *ahem* creative grammar and a story line that was totally improvised! It's a speculative fiction piece

Congrats to all that finished!

I'm absolutely going to try it again next year!
