Whew!

I understand I have been ignoring this blog for a while, but I promise I had good reason.

About a week ago, I found myself about 10K words behind pace for Nanowrimo. I was a lost cause, dead in the water, a chicken with its head cut off.

But then, something happened. I got a week off for Thanksgiving and somehow found myself rolling. And next thing you know, I have finished my 50,000 words in 29 days. Yes, somehow I finished early.

But that doesn't mean I'm done yet. I haven't finished the plot quite yet. I am just getting to the climax, so there is still some writing to be done.

Then I will begin the careful editing and re-writing of the novel. This could take a majority of the next two months.

My mission to get a book published in 3 months is far from over.

Thanks to all of you for your support during this process, I will continue to update you as the process continues.

What a twist!

What a twist!

This is so much fun, but hard to write.

My plot is so loaded with twists and turns that I am loving writing it. I have an idea whats going to happen next, but even I am surprised sometimes.

But, there is a problem with this. I am struggling with pacing, which is why I am about 5K behind. Uh oh.

Oh well, still time to catch up. Oh, and you might want to ignore the total on the map, cause to be honest, I am not updating it regularly.

Anyways, back to writing

1 week in, 1 day behind

Just thought I would give you an update on my Nano project. I am behind, about a day. Uh oh.

Updating this page with a nano widget so you can keep tabs.

Here is my Nano page.

And I am back to work. Later!
