GOAL!

I did it! I finished my goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days. I even wrote more! Yes! I am in the revising stage of the book now. I have printed off a copy and am going to put in an order that make sense and complete the text. It is a wonderful feeling to set a goal and achieve it, I have actually written a book!

I think the story is pretty good and something that will catch the reader's attention and I have all the characters complete. Once I put the text back in order, I will be able to finish writing the rest of it. It was difficult to keep everything in order while I was writing with the end of November approaching so fast. Did you know 30 days is not very long at all when you have to write 1,666 words per day. Just think what happens when you miss a day, and I did, the number of words doubles then triples, etc.

This was an amazing experience though. I have said for a couple of years now that I wanted to try writing a book, but really I never did think I would ever accomplishe the task. I kept starting and get stuck and start again, blah, blah, blah. But, I did it.

My mom was a great source of support! I talked to her about it and she was very encouraging and so was my husband. My dad was very supportive and I think he is going to help me with the grammatical stuff. Mom and I are going to do editing and revising at least before I try sending out for publishing refusals. Ha! Ha!

NaNoWriMo was an excellent site! Without them I would never have even been able to do the book at all! I loved all of their emails and support. I can't wait to see this whole thing through.

Keep checking to see what happens, here! Remember, Setting Goals is the Key!
