NaNoWriMo Winner

Posted by prospectors at 08:07 PM on November 25, 2008

Wow, the last time I posted I was around the 5k mark on day three of NaNoWriMo and here it is the day before Thanksgiving adn I have made it past teh 50k word count requirement to win NaNo. I am so excited that I cannot even begin to tell you what it feels like to know that I have written 3/4 of a novel in under thirty days!!

Note the 3/4 of a completed novel. Yep, I am no where near done with the story still a lot of lose ends to tie up and it is just beginning to to get really good. Lyra is dealing well with her HIV status and has accepted it. She has moved to a small town in Alaska (which I did choose a real town). She managed to keep playing volleyball for her new school has taken the team to State.

A love interest has shown up with a secret of his own that she happened to stumble upon. Sparks going to start flying and the Queen Bee (um actually Bitch) of the school and volleyball teammate has taken out her claws. I am excited.

I plan to have the story wrapped up in the next couple of weeks and then work on getting a coupld of copies printed to hand out to family and friends as Christmas presents. Cannot wait to get input from them. I have been sending copies/updates to some of my FanFiction reviewers that have been following all of my stories since I first started to write. I am hoping that between them and I can get this done and edited.

Fingers crossed!!

Now on the FanFiction front: begin to look for me to start updating Right or Wrong over the Thanksgiving weekend. Now that I am not in a crunch to speed write an entire story I will begin to have more time on my hands!!
