NANOWRIMO 2009 WINNER

I DID IT!



(sound of crickets)


What did I do?


Improved!


- Validated 50, 475 words for the win... and my story's not finished! I estimate it is about 45% complete. That would throw my word count well over 2008. Tomorrow it continues!



- A week in the hospital for back surgery, left me with only three weeks to produce 50, 000 words instead of the four weeks it took me in 2008.



- Started with approx. 23,000 words on November 25th. More than doubled my word count in 5 days!



- Forced myself to write step by step and have a much stronger and well developed plot. I didn't skip ahead to write the end like I did in 2008, leaving me with gaps and holes I have never been able to fill.



The biggest THANK YOU to my husband for keeping me motivated and giving me a small kiss everytime he asked about my word count and to sacredcrayon (CONGRATULATIONS on 50K) for cheering me from the starting line to the finish line!



Nanowrimo 2009 ends, but I feel like something else begins.
