NaNoWriMo part 3
I completed my NaNoWriMo novel on the evening of November 29 - one day ahead of the deadline. During Thanksgiving week I fell behind on my word count several thousand words. On the Friday and Saturday of that week I caught up a little while sitting in Barnes and Noble in Hoover, Alabama for a few hours at a time. Then I averaged 3,000 words a day for four days to finish it. Prior to November I don't think I had ever written 3,000 words in a day. My highest word-count day during NaNoWriMo was 4,800. The whole thing was great fun and I hope to do it again next year.
I was alligned with the Birmingham, Alabama NaNo region and a lot of folks there also hit the 50,000 word goal. One person wrote 20,000 words in the last four days. I was floored by that.
Now I need to edit at least two short stories and get them sent to prospective publishers and edit and revise a novel I completed the first draft on in October. I also need to catch up on a lot of reading, since I was writing in November in times I would otherwise be reading. Several of my favorite authors have new books out - Tess Gerritsen, Patricia Cornwell, and others. If I ever get to write full time maybe I'll finally have time to read as much as I'd like to.
