I. Did. It.I actually completed NaNoWriMo. I wrote 50,000 words. In one month. In 28 days, to be specific. And I wrote the final words wearing a Santa hat. Which just makes it that much cooler.
Is it dorky that I'm so insanely proud of myself right now? Before I decided to do NaNoWriMo, I had literally written nothing besides my blog and a few columns for the Columbus Dispatch in four years. And in one month, I wrote something that was longer than my entire graduate thesis. Which means I can totally still do it. Whether it's any good or not remains to be seen. But still. I totally did it.
The only bad thing: the novel isn't actually finished yet. Which is actually a good thing, because it gives me something to keep working towards. And then the revision process, and then, who knows? Maybe try to find an agent? I don't know. The world might not be ready for the John Boston story yet. But when it is, kapow, watch out, America.
All I know is that I totally did it. And I am totally going to Cracker Barrel right now to celebrate. Because that's the way that we high-velocity novelists roll. Awwww, yeah.
6 pipers piping:
Wowza!! You rock! I'm way impressed.
That's bitchin'! Also, you were in my dream the other night. In your wedding dress. Don't know why. Also, possibly creepy since I don't actually, technically know you.
I'm so happy for you! The discovery that it's all still there is the greatest ever.
GO YOU!!!
You are the champion! I applaud you! And fistfights!
Wow, that is truly awesome. I am impressed and in awe. And of course, I want to read it.
