All the Words! My NaNoWriMo 2016 wrap-up. 

12/5/2016

So yeah, it is a little late, but this is my 2016 NaNoWriMo recap post. 
(I feel like there needs to be a theme song here.)


Another November is over. That means the last 30 days of bliss is done. 


WHAT????

"You mean that 50,000 words in one month is your happy month?"

YES!!!
Oh my land!

November is seriously like my Christmas only in month long form. Thirty days of people all over the world writing, posting their word counts, being in this crazy writing world holding hands and pounding out words together.


Okay... I mean, I guess we can't exactly hold hands and write because #issues but still. NaNoWriMo is an incredible time one of the most wonderful experiences ever.

MY NANO WRAP-UP:
TOTAL WORD COUNT:
50,134 
(on one book... 7,000 more on a short story by 11/30)

DAY I "WON" Nano:
Day 12

WILL I DO IT AGAIN?
Heck yeah!

Now... on day 6 or 7, I was ready to quit. lol I made this video to pep me up (and you up if you needed it)




But I'll say that part of the thrill is the month is PUSHING yourself into getting to that 50,000 word mark. Because it is not easy. At all.

But when it is over, and you've won.


What about you? Did you do Nano? Did you 'win'? What was your final word count? Tell me all about it. I wanna to chat with you!

ALSO, now that you are finished, what are you going to do with your story?
Re-write it?
Query it?
Self-publish it?

Leave a comment! Let's talk!

I love Nano, try to do it every year. Some years, I even do the spring and summer camps, too. I recently indie published my very first Nano novel. Working on editing the others so I can publish them, too, whether indie or traditional.
