I did it - I completed NaNoWriMo! I can't verify it until the 25th, but it's there, it's done: fifty thousand words of finished novel! I cannot wait to verify it!
I feel at this point I should say something reflective, or at least a tiny bit intelligent, but I've just written 5 000 words today, so I'm a little tired! I am happy, very happy, and this, if it is ever to become something, needs radical re-structuring and oh so much work, but the bones are there for me to build on, and I'm so pleased with that.
And now, how dull, I am going to make the tea, chill out with Big C, then read some more of Clarissa. By strange coincidence, it is likely I will finish that tonight. I could never have planned finishing two massive projects on the same day, but there it is. I will, of course, write straight away with my thoughts on Clarissa.
Awesome work! I hope that it has been a really great experience for you! Congrats, too, on finishing Clarissa. You deserve a nice relaxing weekend! Cheers! Chris

Congratulations! That's amazing- putting all the other NaNoWriMo-ers, to shame, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteChristopher - not quite finished with Clarissa, about another 70 pages to go, probably will finish tonight. And yep, after I've cleaned up the house, which has suffered again, I will be chilling! It's going to be weird, having this time. No Clarissa, which is odd and makes me a little sad, and no NaNo, which is good, it was hard work and I need a break. I'll start the second draft after Christmas, I should think.
Laura - amazingly, there are a fair amount of people who finished days ago! I looked up "nanowrimo finished" on Twitter and was so surprised, and at the time jealous! That's what motivated me - 2 days ago I was on 35k and so desperate to finish! :)
Congratulations on the completion of two hefty, impressive projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
