I Won! November 29, 2007

Filed under: Writing — Heather Foeh @ 9:35 pm

NaNoWriMo Winner 2007YES!!! I did it! I am a NaNoWriMo winner. 50,129 words in 29 days. Man is that a wonderful feeling.

No, my manuscript isn’t complete, but it’s darn close. Probably another 7000 words to go. Then revisions, revisions, revisions.

It’s been quite an adventure, full of twists and turns. Some interesting plot changes along the way that I hadn’t foreseen, but I like them. Two secondary characters popped up and I really love them both — Peter and Martha. They’re a great foil for my hero and heroine, Jack and Laurel. The bad guy turned out much creepier than I had envisioned - he kind of scares me actually.

I think I’m going to go drink a glass of wine and celebrate! Many thanks to all of you who cheered me on along the way.
