I WON!

I am super, super, uber excited.

Why?

I WON NANOWRIMO!

In other words, I met my word count goal.

True, I changed my goal from 50k to 20k. But I wrote 20,o00 words in a month! 20,001 if you ask the NaNo website, 20,070 if you ask our version of Microsoft Word.

I am incredibly proud of myself. Not only did I survive, but I actually wrote 20,000 words that (hopefully) someday will be good enough for people to actually read!

As is, it needs editing. I realize this.

But that can’t stop my optimism for long.

In case you’re wondering, no, I didn’t finish my novel. Far from it. I barely started Part Two. But I did meet my goal. And that’s pretty awesome too!

This is definitely the most planning and work I have EVER put into a story. Or, like, anything else.

In any case, I can now tell people that I won NaNoWriMo.

This has been a crazy month. I can’t wait to rest a bit. And keep writing. And editing. Hmm.

10k at Long Last!!!

Well, this is pretty self-explanatory based off of the title. Ah, well.

I finally have 10,000 words!!!

I am quite proud of myself

That means I have 40,000 more words to do in the next 17 days or so.

That’s about (according to the NaNoWriMo website stats) 2,353 words a day.

Think I can do it?

I think I just might be able to pull this off!

(Yes, this is short. I want to get back to writing. But I had to update my blog about this momentous occasion!!!)

A Celebratory Post (As Well as More Procrastination!)

 Hello, my faithful blog readers!

I have big news!

1. I now have 6 followers!

and…

2. Today, I beat my record for most views. 27 views of my blog today!

Yes! I consider both of these big accomplishments. If you look at my archives, you will see that I have only had my blog since August. So really, this is huge to me I remember how excited I was to get my first follower. Well, now I have 6!

(I know. These numbers really don’t sound that big, for those of you who get, like, 5 million views a day and have like 30 followers. But guess what? It means that I’m starting to have a name in the blogging community! I’m quite proud of myself.)

So thanks a ton, you guys. I love you all

Also, my NaNoWriMo novel is coming along okay. Although I am currently procrastinating on it by writing a celebratory blog post. Also, I am more behind than I realized that I was. I still need 9,587 words to reach today’s goal.

But, I’m not as frustrated right now. I overcame my writer’s block a bit. Now I just need to overcome my horrible procrastination habits.

Over and out,
