NaNoWriMo 2008 Winner

Well, I already did my ‘Whoo, I did it’ post.

So this one is a ‘Whoo, loads of other people have done it’ post! And lots have, including many who stop by this blog – well done to all of you.

I’m also pretty damn pleased because I managed to keep going rather than having a post-50k slump, and I’m currently at over 67,000 words with another couple of hours’ writing time in which I fully intend to Finish the Damn Novel – I have one and a half scenes left to write, or about another 2,500 words. Which is very doable, and would put me over 70,000.

And then tomorrow I can relax – or rather, go to work, and then go to the Belfast TGIO do.

And on Tuesday… I can start replotting The Secrets of the Library to include the fairly random but very useful things I thought of while driving home the other night, which will greatly enhance the fantasy world it’s set in /and/ my story. Whoot.

Hopefully the amount of smugness in this blog will be toned down again in the next few weeks, and the amount of actual real useful and hopefully interesting posts will increase.

But by gum, I love November more than I can possibly explain.

Edited just before midnight to add: WTF? I wrote over 7,000 words today, which is more than 2,000 more than my best-ever day previously. And I didn’t even need them to win NaNoWriMo with – although I did use them to Finish the Damn Novel. And that in itself was pretty satisfying.
Hmm. I could get another 2 words if I actually wrote ‘The End’…

    Impressive. I think I managed about 2000 words in the whole of November (I am a slow-poke) but you deserve a pat on the back. I’m afraid I don’t know the emoticon for a pat on the back though so these words will have to do.

    Very well done, that woman. It’s a really great achievement.
