WOOHOO!!!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 30 days later and I’m DONE DONE DONE!!!

It’s hard to believe but after hours and hours of typing, blisters on my fingers (not kidding!) and many a sigh later and I’m offically done with NaNoWriMo ‘09!!

WOW what a feeling to have written a novel, or at least 50,000 words of one (it’s still not 100% complete)….and my bf was so proud of me, and was sitting right next to me as I finished! When I phoned my dad to tell him, he congratulated me and said he was so proud that I saw it through to completion, because I easily could have given up at any point.

I’m so exhausted! Having been off for a week while I was ill, I literally wrote a book in 3 weeks….wow. Just wow!

Now to take a 2 week break and then get editing with a fresh mindset! And there is the TGIO (Thank Goodness It’s Over) Party to look forward to this week! I’m so excited for my fellow nano’ers to have done this with me, whether you finished or not!

As a reward, I get to deck my house out in Christmas goodies and set up my tree! :D
