nano - finished. 62,800 words.

[leoniedelt]

I'm finished with my novel. In the sense that i have concluded all plotlines, and even written a brief epilogue that sets us up for a sequel. lol.

I still want to work another 20k words into it, expand the centre and possibly the ending of it, somehow. But right now i cant see how to do that, perhaps with a few days to rest I can look at it fresh.

Anyone who wants to see it, can. I'll be glad to email it to them.

Here's my nano link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?uid=165676 ; - the graph shows how steadily i've been writing it, since i discovered i needed to update a word count and all that.

I feel i made up for the unfair 10-12k i had to start with, that i didnt delete and rewrite, by pushing 63k. I justifiably feel, in my mind, that i DID churn out 50k words in less than a month, and I did properly win Nano this way.

I still have 5 and a half more days to generate even MORE words, so maybe i can push 70k by the end of November? Who knows.

Woooooot!

GO YOU!

I probably counted come up with 100 good words in a month lol.

This is what happens when I try to type with the sun in my eyes...

I probably couldn't come up with 100 good words in a month lol.

:) *hugs* thanks for your support :)

My f-list have been *wonderful* (since i stsarted separating posts and filtering the appropriate ones where to they belong, etc), and very supportive of my nano bitching and moaning and stuff :)

I wish we had sunshine, its been a dull grey November day, and its 4.30pm and DARK AS FUCK.

God i really hate British winters :/ They dont help the SAD in me.

It's 10:27am and my computer faces a window south.

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

No wonder i miss all the fun, my f-list is asleep when i'm awake, and vise versa!

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

Damn time zones! :P

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

I just cannot believe i donethis much, i really cant.

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

I'm very happy that you were able to get it done. Not everyone can write 50,000+ words in less than a month.

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Technically, I've written 50k in 17 days. And thats what gobsmacks me the most, really. *I* cant believe i did that. I remember struggling over a paragraph, over a page, over even thinking about writing a word.

In fact there were several years went by when i didnt even enjoy Who any more because i was so ill, so this represents a HUGE return to almost-normality (as well as one can be on drugs with MPS) and a big deal for me.

I guess it was just rattling round inside me and I needed to get it out - writing it down was theraputic, lol.

*hugs* thanks for the support :)

Petey says WOO!

Congrats: that's an amazing achievement.

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. I still have 5 and a bit days to go, who knows if i can stretch it to 70k by then, I'll be thrilled if i can.

But, i need to stop and be pleased with myself for what I've done so far - nothing to scoff at! :)

Huzzah!! I knew you could do it!!! :D

Now ... about this last email you sent that promised an attachment, and was attachment-less. I'm blaming Rachie since the poor child seems to be getting into everything these days, LOL, but may I have an attachment? Hmmm??

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

OMG. Its on the way now. Forgive spelling errors, i havent spell checked in about a week.

It needs work, but i'm TOTALLY OPEN to ANY suggestions ANYONE has to offer - you wont offend me, and that applies to anyone who wants to read it and suggest places where i can crank up the angst (or torture, yum).

:)

[nine-girl.livejournal.com]

I can't promise to read today, but I'm hoping I can do this weekend. Between being sick, family responsibilities, and trying to earn money - well, you understand. You sing the same song. :)

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

I sure do, love. I sure do. Take your time, savour the angst/torture/hurt/comfort. :D

Rach has been a snotfaced little TERROR these past few days, omg.

I've been thinking about ebaying her little butt. But she's too cute to give away permanently. lol

I'm now thinking towards a library loan. Lol.

[nine-girl.livejournal.com]

Sell her to the travellers. They'd probably pay you to take her back within three days. :D

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Sounds fair to me!

[bluekiwibubble.livejournal.com]

*claps enthusiastically*

50k in 17 days? Like WHOA, lol. Seriously go you! =D

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) Its been rattling round in my head for like 7 years. It was about time i got it down on paper, heh.

[alocin42.livejournal.com]

Woo and yay and yay and woo!

*claps lots, showers with praise-full Quavers*

Your writing productiveness amazes me!

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Determination and passion, i guess, is how i have managed to squeeze out 2k+ words per day for the last however many days. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and nano finally gave me the push to do it.

I've been plotting out my next novel. OMGroflmaowtffbbq. And i havent even wrapped this one up completely, not yet!
