Whew! Just under the wire, too. The final word of the final chapter was written on the final day, and that word was “mage.” It’s not as breathtaking as “scar,” perhaps, but I’ll take it.
Unfortunately for Patrick, the space monkeys didn’t make another appearance. Perhaps they can be added in when the book is being edited.
Yay! We all rock so hard, including my dad. I mentioned the contest to him a few days in, and he was game and managed to get involved late and still win the thing: http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?uid=176327
I love that all of us finished when so many people don’t.
The last word of my novel is “break.” Hmmmm….. Was it supposed to be “scar”?
Hey, congratulations, you guys!
Yes congrats! Quite an impressive accomplishment.
Thanks, guys! My tentative schedule going forward is:
December: forget I ever wrote a novel
January: rediscover I wrote it, take a quick look to see if it stinks too badly to rescue
February: recover from unexplainable depression, vow not to write another word again
October: start plot outline for NaNoWriMo 2007
Seriously, I’ll probably take it back out in January and start a second draft, posting excerpts here when they seem interesting enough to show off. Who knows what’ll happen from there.
Yay, finally, I can talk to you again. :)
Yes! Please!
