NaNoWriMo
ends at midnight tonight.
There
was a time, not too many days ago, when I honestly thought there was no way to
make that 50K goal. At one point, I would have had to have 6 personal best days
in a row. Yikes! Not likely!
But
somehow, I pulled a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute. I had three
really awesome writing days in a row, one reaching a new personal best of over
3500 words, and that brought the needed daily average down to what almost felt
doable. Then a writing spurt where I got several hundred words in less than an
hour, plus many more that day, helped even more.
I
have validated my document.
I
did it!!
I
am officially a NaNo winner!
The
work is by no means done, though. There are many words in that document that
will never see the inside of a published book. There are large sections of
backstory that will need to be reduced to a sentence or two, notes to myself
regarding things that need to be changed when I start edits, and notes about
things that still need to be written. There is also a lot more to write: holes
big enough to stampede a herd of cattle through.
So
even though this challenge is done, there are more to come. I’ll keep you
posted.
