with a bang or a fizzle?

National Writing Month is OVER!

I feel successful, happy, tired, disappointed, confused, brain-dead, elated and relieved! Yes, all at once. Holy Canoli! Who knew one month of writing could turn me into psych patient of Dr. House. My brain needs serious R&R. Good thing there isn't much to do this next month . . . ur, or not. 

My goal was to completely finish my book. I didn't quite get there, but I did write 60,000K total this last month. I'd like to think that I'm going to take it easy next month, but really, who am I kidding? I'm as competitive as a Survivor Contestant in the final four. 

So . . .

HOW DID YOU DO?

  1. 60,000 words? Holy cow! That must've taken a ton of Coke Zeros.

    I didn't participate this year, as I focused on getting out of revision hell and pitching to three publishers.

    I figured that was enough for me!

  2. That is too awesome. I'm blind now.

    But seriously, that is great. It's a lot better than my 0. Looking forward to a productive (and sick-free) December. :)

  4. I've got to ask... did you copy and paste the same word 60,000 times?
    Well done. Make sure you let us know how you progress. :o)

  7. I'm so proud of you I could cry! No, really. I think it's freaking awesome! Really, REALLY awesome. And it makes me a little sad that I didn't hang out with you at the library a single time last month. Can we do a joint sneak&write a couple times this month?

  14. Wowzers! I don't think I'll ever be able to write a book in a month. I can't even do it in a year. :) Congrats on 60,000 hard-earned words!

  15. 60,000 words? Wow! Very impressive. I didn't NaNo this year but I've been doing quite a bit of editing :)

  16. WOW! Kudos for you! Even if you didn't completely finish it, that is a huge accomplishment! You go girl! I didn't do NaNo, but I did survive this semester of school and I'm glad it's almost over!
