Done at last!

Finally! A month after impulsively signing up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), I'm done! Through! Finished! A few minutes ago, I crossed the finish line with precisely 50,000 words.


I've done NaNoWriMo several times in the past, but I tell ya, it was like pulling teeth this time. I felt like I was wallowing in molasses much of the month. But the whole idea of NaNoWriMo is to slam through and get the bones of a story in place. Fleshing out can come later.


But I’m glad this flirty little flight into fiction is finished (how’s that for alliteration?). I have a magazine article due on Thursday and a column due on Friday. Time to get back to work


Who else crossed the finish line?

  2. Congrats! I know it's a hard slog having done it several times. Our daughter does it every year, once even reaching 100,000 words. She wants to be a published author and is in college majoring in English Lit. Her practical money earning goal is to be certified to teach English as a foreign language in Korea, where she served for two years in the Air Force. Anyway, good job and congrats to you!!
