NaNoWriMo Completion

[same_sky]

I have the distinct pleasure of informing my dear readers that I have just finished my first novel. This has been one long-ass month, and it is with great relief and even greater happiness and bouncy goodness that I announce that I have finally conquered my NaNoWriMo foe.



Thank you to everyone who has offered kind words of support along the way. You believed in me (or not, but you at least lied and assured me that I could do it) when I wasn't so sure that I could squeeze out one more word, and I'm very grateful for that.

And now, if you don't mind, I'll take myself off to do anything else in the whole freaking world than type one more word. (But in this case, it happens to be a celebratory dinner at our favorite Chinese restaraunt.)

*hugs* And *whap*, for that crack about more interesting posts. :) I've been beaming wildly all evening. :) It's a good day. :) You can tell that by the way I put a smiley after each and every sentence. :) Usually, I make sure there's at least one sentence that doesn't require a smile. :) But not tonight! :)

Nice to have smiley freedom like that :) I feel the guilt of too many smileys sometimes too - to be so carefree is great! (an exclamation mark is sometimes a good replacement for one when you know you have to have one without a smiley) Have a lovely chinese dinner!! Is M done too?

We're done with the dinner, as well as some bookstore browsing. It was delicious, thanks. :)

Poor M tuckered out. He needs something like 20,000 more words, so it's doubtful he'll finish in November. He's still working on his book, though. Well, kinda. He's been taking a break, but he worked on it again today, and he swears he's going to start writing again now.

Aah, well, I hope you're not rubbing it in his face ;) Hopefully he can share in your happiness, and in the profits from the sales :)

Well done!
