NaNoWriMo Day 26: The finish line

This entry was posted by on Wednesday, 26 November, 2008 at

No Time for a real post. But I do have time for this:

50,205 words in the bag.

Yup. I “won”. And by won, they mean I completed 50k+ words in under 30 days to form a fiction novel first rough draft. A VERY rough draft I’ll admit.

This doesn’t mean I am done working on it, rather it means that now I get to -really- dig into to what I actually wrote and massage it to make this fiction novel readable. I honestly am not even the least bit happy with what I created here, so a LOT of editing is in my future. But what I AM happy with is the fact that I was able to produce 50k+ words in under thirty days and keep them all focused on a basic story line.

I promise you all this: when I have a moment, either over the vacation days ahead or possibly into next week, I WILL post the Title, Synopsis, and Excerpt.

For now, just revel in my joy that I’m DONE!

      Thanks for your support through this month, having people rooting for me has been awesome and got me through to the end without quitting!

      • I did enjoy my holiday, thanks. And I’ve gotten a fair amount of writing done tonight. The battery is about to go dead, and I really should get some sleep … but I’m hoping for tomorrow and the rest of the weekend to be as productive. I’m confident I can make the 50K!
