NaNo No Mo'

So NaNoWriMo is over; I didn't quite get as far as I could have, but I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to write just under twenty one thousand words. 21,000 words!  


Actually I totally miscalculated what the Thanksgiving holiday would do for me. Rather than being able to write more, I ended up not being able to write before and after that week. Not that I would have done a lot better without the holiday... After a week of little writing I found it extremely difficult to get started again.


I did write a few hundred words on the last day, but that was too little too late. 


The wonderful thing about NaNoWriMo was that I got going on this project that I have wanted to do for a long time. I never expected to have a fully written novel in a month; I am too new at this sport to pull that off. But the momentum I have gained from last month should carry me to the finish line, even if it takes a few more months. I have already written about 600 words since NaNoWriMo ended, and I plan to keep writing anytime I get some time.


So watch this space for updates and wish me luck on this maiden voyage across the page.
