I Finished NaNoWrimo – I Won!
I finished the NaNoWriMo contest about 22 minutes ago, with only 20 minutes to spare. 
To win, you have to write 50,000 words or more between November1, and November 30th. I wrote 51,101!
Now,the book is not finished, but I have a hell of a start. I really enjoyed this entire process and the NaNoWriMo event, definitely helped me to get motivated enough to do this.
Now, I’m excited to ‘finish’ the actual book and get the turkey published. I have no doubts about my ability to do that, because I publish my writing every day. I’ll get the book out there in one form or another, and knowing myself, I’ll probably get it out there in several forms.
I’ll probably talk more about how I did it, using Dragon Naturally Speaking over at Maven Mapper’s Information later this week. Instead of writing all day to day, as many of you saw, I drove from 8 am until 10 PM from Peoria Illinois out of a snow storm, down to Gastonia North Carolina in the rain. I’m super tired, and heading to bed as soon as I put my computer gear away for the night.
If you tried your hand at NaNoWriMo whether you finished or not. Congratulations!
This was my second attempt, but the first year that I made it to 50,000 words. The first year I tried this I came in some where at 10,000 or 15,000 words. I barely remember right now.
