NaNoWriMo 2008 – I Did It!

Posted on November 30, 2008 by strugglingwriter

I just got finished writing my 50,000th word of the month at 11:30 PM. I am stunned I was able to pull it off, as I had to write over 4,400 words today. My back and neck are killing me, and I wanna go collapse in bed.

I’m happy this time because I have a real story that I think I can expand upon. I didn’t actually hit “The End” yet, but I’m close. I’ll post more tomorrow, but here’s what I said last year. It sorta fits this year too.

Good night!

    Thanks Diane. I don’t know if I’ll post excerpts here or not. I could always send you the whole darn thing via email, although you might just go mad trying to decipher my writing.

    Thanks Mike :)
