Winner!

Woop Woop!

Just 50,460 words written in 29 days. A whole day to spare – which is unusual for me, but I made it!

I have to say at this point, that the book is pretty awful, but that is not the point. The point is to WRITE – all 50,000 words in just 30 days. For all of you who have thought about/dreamt about writing a book, I urge you to try this, you will learn so much! Not least about how not to write! How a story that is massive in your head will end up being a few hundred words on paper, and then what? How many times you can actually write he said, she said. And how cute I am not, and do not, and they are actually look – after all – it is the number of words that counts! Most of all it teaches you that it does not have to take years and years. Just a couple of hours every day and a couple of proper sessions and it’s done in a month.

So, what are you doing next November? Plenty of time to plan – go check it out: http://www.nanowrimo.org

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow – I’m up for a celebration!
