I reached 57078 words today, decided that was the end of my novel and submitted all 40 chapters. I suppose it will disappear into the ether now.
It’s called ‘The Sweets and the Bitters of Love’ (thank you, Lord Byron) and it ended up being a romance, which was quite a surprise to me.
What can I take up now to avoid the housework??
I still can’t work out how the NaNo site made it 57238 words, though.
Another thought – shouldn’t it be InNoWriMo – International Novel Writing Month? Last time I looked UK wasn’t part of the USA where NNWM originated ;-)
That's a great word count! Congrats, Winner!! I'm going to finish up tonight, just barely over 50K.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing Nano! That is such an accomplishment. I didn't do it this year, been busy with launches and revisions. Hope to take it on next year tho!
ReplyDeleteAlso, it should be called InHaNoWriMo = International Half-Novel Writing Month.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I can think of lots of ways to avoid the housework!
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing!:-)
ReplyDeleteI finished the 50,000 word challenge the night before last but still have a long way to go to finish my story.
Hi Janice .. Congratulations on finishing .. I should let the dust settle before you start on that housework?!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the success of writing the first draft of a romance .. cheers Hilary
That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations on finishing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! A great accomplishment, I think. Avoid housework? You need to edit and then send it in to a publisher. Or make it into an ebook and sell it yourself.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ! what a work ! I don't how you count the words ?
ReplyDeleteYou can start a crime story now, I think you would be good for that !
Congratulations on your novel. I love it when I surprise myself, and my characters or story line weave without much work. Housework, ahhh forget about it. Pull out your vacuum cleaner and leave it in the middle of the room; when soemone comes, tell
ReplyDeletethem you were about to clean house.
Thank you everyone. I like the idea of leaving the vacuum cleaner in the room as if ready for use - the trouble is it would terrify Gus (number three dog)
ReplyDeleteJanice...I am in awe! You are one fantastic goal completer!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Oh well done on completing it! What a brilliant achievement in a month.
ReplyDeleteGus will get used to the vaccum cleaner ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell done on your novel!
Thank you :-))
ReplyDeleteAre you having trouble getting into the Post Editor in your blog? Just curious, because I am.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is a overwhelming number of words. I say let the housework go for awhile and bask in the after glow of the accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThank you Squirrel Queen and Robert.
ReplyDeletere: post editor - I don't know as I haven't posted since Tuesday - will let you know if I do when I next post.
Well done and welcome back!
