You may have noticed the rather In Your Face NaNoWriMo winner’s badge over there on the right. Yes, that’s right – my month of hell is finally over. I’ve written 50,019 words and I can now catch up with the rest of my life which includes updating this silly old site and trying to get back up to speed with all your blogs (if you can post a brief synopsis of your life over the last month that would be very handy, ta).
Only, I haven’t quite finished. I still have two sections of the book left to write before I can actually declare a complete first draft. That’s about another 3000 or so words to go. And for some reason, my two proof readers in my writing group are a bit miffed that I hurriedly wrote “and they lived happily ever after” right after I’d left the main character in a rather nasty predicament.
There’s no pleasing some people, is there?
Oh well… a couple more days work for me before catch up then…

That is some achievement, all the more remarkable because this is the second time you have done it. ?masochism? LOL. Well done!

Thanks all!
Yes Miss L – felt a lot less like a fluke with managing it a second time… and a LOT like masochism!!

Yay! You are an inspiration :-) (seriously – not meant to sound sarcastic!!)

Should I ask an inspiration to do what exactly? I just want to check before I get blamed by your hubby for some scheme or another, you understand ;)

Wow, just read this almost a year later. I tried the whole NaNoWriMo thing and got like 10k words.
How did your book go? I’m guessing you’ve written the last 3k by now?

Yes, I finished the last part of the book in time :) Not that I’ve done anything with it since, of course…
