I have been writing my novel for a year and a half now ... One day, I'll finish - I actually hope to finish soon. I agree with you about writing romance though - I don't plan to have any of that in mine. Someone might get married but I don't plan to document emotions or anything.<br /><br />Congratulations again! :D<br /><br />To the KING be all the glory!<br />Rebekah<br /><br />BLOG: http://www.donotgrowweary.com/blog<br /><br />"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15Rebekahhttp://www.donotgrowweary.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-55716419704860939182009-12-03T05:02:40.043+11:002009-12-03T05:02:40.043+11:00+JMJ+

I would encourage...Hello fellow Nanowrimo novelist! I would encourage you to think of this passed month in a more positive light and take it as a time of practice. Essentially that is what it is. Just as pianists have to spend hours a day going through scales or an artist has to do multiple sketches, so a novelist must write lots of words! Hehe! Nanowrimo is forcing you to sit down and just write. It isn't going to be anything near good (unless someone has this amazing natural talent), but that is what other months of the year are for. I can see how disappointing it was to have the validator say you were under 50k, but word processor doesn't lie. I think that validator is messed up because every year I have done it, it has given me extra hundred words or so, no matter what. Yet I hear from my friends that it always takes away words. Something not right there, but I would have totally done what you did, copying and pasting extra paragraphs. It isn't cheating, because you did get 50k. It was just troubleshooting. ;-)<br /><br />You won! You totally won! And you actually completed a novel, which is far from what I can say. I told myself that this year I was going to finish my novel for once (I always just get half way! 50k is hardly enough for me to tell a story! haha!), but I was two chapters shy of the end. It was Thanksgiving day that messed me up. Still, I got well over 50k anyway, so I am happy. <br /><br />Anyway, congratulations and now it is back to normal life. :-PDanielle Pajakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678551471984388801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-41797795302690837362009-12-01T20:34:02.445+11:002009-12-01T20:34:02.445+11:00Thankyou so much, everyone, for your congratulatio...Thankyou so much, everyone, for your congratulations, and for all your encouragement this past month!

I only made it to about 5ooo words got very distracted and also started writing on another story. Between work and travel somehow I knew writing would not work but I still wanted to try. Oh well. <br />I agree with you about writing love stories. Mine was to be a historical romance of sorts too. I keep debating whether or not to end my story right before my heroine discovers what true love is for herself. It's hard when you've never been in love. :)<br />Good job in persevering! You made it! :)Miss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-62405028238246214572009-12-01T14:49:30.352+11:002009-12-01T14:49:30.352+11:00YAY!

I'm sending one huge big high five over the tasman to you! - well done!<br />Don't worry about your tinkering with the word counts, open office tends to muck things up. It usually mushes two words into one when you copy/paste so don't worry!<br />As the the story quality, don't be too picky, I think it's easy to be really picky about your own work. Let some family members have a read so that they can give a really good objective look at it. :)<br /><br />oh, and happy holidays - from now on you're free!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442547969239559022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-3301535441014455292009-12-01T13:16:08.729+11:002009-12-01T13:16:08.729+11:00Good on you, we are so proud of you!

...You finished a novel?!?! Wow, that's great.<br /><br />I probably should go on some sort of unofficial intensive writing period to finish my novel- five chapters in two years. <br /><br />Words flow at night for me too. I annoy my family with it sometimes. Dad will come by at 11:30 pm or midnight and I'll still be sitting at the computer, typing away. <i>"Are you going to bed tonight?"</i> he'll ask. <i>"Probably not"</i> I'll reply vaguely.<br /><br />Well, all this to say congratulations!Miss Jordan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109682376556946791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-79170148601000423402009-12-01T11:28:55.042+11:002009-12-01T11:28:55.042+11:00that is about NaNo count, it usually counts more f...that is about NaNo count, it usually counts more for me than my text editor, I suppose there must be differences none of knows about<br /><br />anyway, congrats on finishing your novel, I think it's actually quite hard to finish, let alone in a monthlissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012085842881252635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-14980923479953454942009-12-01T09:07:24.551+11:002009-12-01T09:07:24.551+11:00Congratulations!
