NaNoWriMo Victory!

by 38 Comments

Yes! I did it. I completed my YA (young adult) novel today. It is just over 50,000 words, according to the verification software on the NaNoWriMo website. On my software it’s closer to 51,000, but hey, what’s a thousand words between friends, right?

Author: BulgingButtons

I'm a middle aged woman doing the things that middle aged women do and trying not to beat myself up. I'm living the life I choose with the man I love, the teenage son who impresses me all the time, and the most adorable pup ever rescued from the euthanasia list. We live in the heat of the Southwest, where I regularly sweat through my Lane Bryant bras.

    Congratulations! I admire you 🙂
    I have heard that the NaNo registers fewer words. That could be frustrating, but you got her done 🙂

    That is cool! I did not know you got that kind of validation. Now I really want to do it some year…some year when I don’t have 6000 bulbs to plant. I just need…an idea.
