NaNoWriMo winner

2 Dec 2006 — categorized in literature

As you can see from the top icon on the front page I “won” the (Inter)National Novel Writing Month. 50017 words in 25 days, since I started a bit late. I had 39000 words with two days left, and then found out that the NaNoWriMo counter thought I had 1700 words less than that. The otherwise excellent online word processor Writely was apparently more generous than its official counterpart.

Oh well, now I have a lot of story to edit. It has to be done by January 1st since I’m going to submit it to a competition.

NaNoWriMo

I just joined National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) today, an international event despite the name. The aim is a 50 000 word novel during November, and we’re almost a month into it already. You can follow my progress live at the top of the page as I upload my word count each day. Wish me luck.
