I got there in the end! A completed 50,000 word story (well, completed in the sense that I passed 50k words, not as in the story is finished yet, LOL!)

It’ll probably end up 80k, maybe, and I hope to use my chrissy holiday time to finish it and then get started on some editing. But I’ve got some other writing projects to get into as well now. A month worth of ideas that I’ve sat on.

So NaNoWriMo was an excellent challenge, and I’ll certainly do it again!

Congratulations Damian, 50k words….I can’t imagine keeping on track long enough to write 50 or 80k words;)
Damian:

Thanks Shanina :)
The first week was pretty hard (for me anyway) actually; just trying to stop doing all the things I usually do that distract me. Once I FINALLY got some focus it moved along alright, LOL!
