National Novel Writing Month: The Wrap Party
Congratulations to all of you who made it to 50,000 words (and beyond)! What an accomplishment – you did it. And congratulations to all of you who tried, but didn’t quite reach the 50K goal. I hope, at least, that you met your personal goal.
That is what I did. My goal was to establish a writing habit, and I have. I get up early, and I write. What is amazing is that I write fiction. At this point I don’t care if it is good or bad care that I’ve written something I can work with in the revision stage, but I don’t stress over it being beautiful prose. I want to tell a story. I want the story to be entertaining. I want my writing to have meaning. But to have it do all this, I have to at least get something I can work with out of my head and onto the page.
National Novel Writing Month gave me the tools (and confidence) to do just that. So while I did not reach 50,000 words, I have a writing habit (or some would call it a schedule) and something down on the page.
Hooray, me!
