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?

Congratulations! I admire you 🙂
I have heard that the NaNo registers fewer words. That could be frustrating, but you got her done 🙂
November 29, 2013 at 9:31 pm
Thanks, it was a bit frustrating, but the story needed more anyway. 🙂
November 29, 2013 at 10:22 pm
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.
November 30, 2013 at 7:25 am
It’s not much but it’s nice to have something besides bragging rights. 🙂
November 29, 2013 at 10:23 pm
P.S. I love me a good YA novel.

Thanks, Lora. 🙂 I need to dust off my poor neglected sewing machine soon. I miss quilting and the friendship of the group. So glad you’ve been reading. Thanks for commenting.
