The Good Patrons of 750 Words

Well… I did it: I “WON” the NaNoWriMo Challenge (write a novel – 50,000 words minimum – in 30 days. What that means in real life is that I met the word count minimum; the story itself is NOT finished… and yes, I’m working on it. All blame goes to this site: the simple act of showing up daily and turning out the words has singlehandedly knocked me out of the “occasional writer who only does short stuff” box and into a whole new space.- and it feels good to be there. I’m already planning how to handle the research and rewriting necessary to turn my manuscript into a viable story AND wondering about the next book that is twittering in the back of my mind. I’m also planning to work on a poetry book that has been sidelined for at least the last two years… I’m amazed, scared, and electrified at how all this stuff now seems doable (it was merely terrifying before!); keep on typing folks, its worth it!
