60,000 words!!!!!!!

That's right everyone!! I have finished my novel. And with only about 10,000 words of crap! Which makes for one damn fine 50,000 word NaNo novel! WOO HOO!!!

I AM SO AMAZING!!!!!

Here's my story (not my novel story silly)

When I started this novel 2 months ago (Feb 1) I had my mom and one of my friends doing it with me (which I was amazed at since I don't hang out with writers). My mom stagnated at 16,000 words (she was writing nonfiction which I'll admit is way harder since I think she really was running out of ideas) and my friend stopped dead in his tracks after 6,500 words. I tried hard to get them both to keep trying and to not give up hope! But to no avail.

And now here I stand, victorious once again. Another 60,000 words under my belt. And my friend? *Shakes head* He couldn't do it. And my mom? She says she will finish one day. She is optimistic I guess.

This is my second novel and it's way better than the first. I like it way more, but it's still not very good when compared to published books. The plot feels contrived. And it doesn't have a good ending. It's sort of like one event after another until I got to 60,000 words. I'll have to work on that somehow for future novels... Maybe more planning. With more thought I could have come up with a better plot I think. But I got lazy I think.

Now it's time for a nice long break from novel writing where I enjoy not having to do my word count every day. (Although after my first novel, I didn't last 3 weeks before I was writhing around because I needed to write another novel). I hope I can at least last until school is over. I don't want to start another one right before finals!!! I will probably write one during the summer. I have a few ideas written down. I have one specifically for nanowrimo about my kitty (Mitzie) being "the chosen one." hehe I could have fun with that. But who knows?

I feel like I just finished my last novel (three months ago I did) and I'm already doing the bragging to everyone bit again. hehe! I loved typing The End. I typed it like this: ~The End~ and I centered it and made it bigger. That was on the 121st page (single spaced). Pretty cool huh??

I've always wanted to write a novel and now I've written 2 in the span of 4 months! I feel like I can just whip these things out! I have tons of idea, but I can write them all!!! (Actually my ideas are pretty stupid, but I like them).

WEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY FOR NOVELWRITTING!!!! I'VE WRITTEN MULTIPLE NOVELS. Yes, that's right. I've written a few. I don't know, I've lost count ;p hehehehehehe!!!!!!!!

Hurray for me!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
