I DID IT.
The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000-word (or more) novel in a month. I’m currently at 50,215 which means I WON. (If you hit 50,000 words, you are a winner.)
My story isn’t done. Not even close. But the point is that I started out as a panicked college student, wondering where I would find the time and ideas and inspiration and drive. This was all about 29 days ago. And here I am now, a successful Wrimo, a novel well on the way.
‘We Are the Champions’ by Queen has been playing on my youtube for about…oh…half an hour now? It feels like victory. My facebook status has no spaces and is in all caps except for the bit that says ” *screams of joy* ”
This, readers of my blog, is victory. (I would say that this is Sparta…but I am riding a writer’s high that tells me that Sparta isn’t nearly as cool as what I’ve accomplished.) (Give my ego a day or so, I swear I’ll be back to normal soon.)
The current title of the novel is ‘Fayte.’ Keep an eye out for it on shelves….if ever….in about two years. Because I still have to keep writing and then there’s editing and revising and finding a publisher and blah blah blah. But if I finish it fully, I’ll be sure to tell you all.
Well, it’s 1 AM and the adrenaline rush is finally wearing off, so I’ll talk to you all later.
Best wishes!
(EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
