NaNoWriMo Winner

I did it!  I completed 50,000 words during the month of November.  Well done to all of you who have done the same and to those of you struggling to finish...stop watching tv, reading a book or goofing off on Facebook.  Write!

Now...my thoughts on this journey for those of you who haven't attempted this feat yet.

• Trying to work on a sequel which takes a lot of thinking and planning is not a good idea for Nano
• Editing...yeah I still have to do it as I go!
• Word counter how I love to hate you!
• Writing buddies are invaluable
• The feeling you get when you know you've reached your goal...PRICELESS!

For those of you who have never given Nano a try I highly suggest you do so next year. 

Many people look at the 50,000 word mark and convince themselves they can't do it.  Trust me...it can be done but it takes a lot of effort, time management and a good idea.

My goal for next year's Nano:

• start a completely new project for Nano
• stop obsessively updating my word count
• spend time helping others reach their goals
• increase word count to 70,000
• do my "I did it" dance again!

Is anyone else taking the 50,000 word writing challenge through the end of November with NaNoWriMo? 

This is my first year and I'm super excited to test myself to finish my sequal to Immortal Rose by the last day of November.  So my goal is actually 70,000 words instead of 50,000...but who's counting right?

Are you taking part?  I'd love to buddy up with you.

Post a comment and I will send you my buddy info.

Happy Writing!
