Woohoo!

I did it!  50,00 words in one month (and still counting).  A month, mind you that contained a holiday, many house guests, a trip to Hawaii and a weekend trip to visit a friend.

Guess I've run out of excuses about not being able to find time to write.

I want to say thank you to Dan who encourages me every day, to parents who root for me, to Cindy who got me to face my fears, all the friends who allowed me to announce that I'm leaving the room to go write, and to all the teachers who've ever told me I could write.

And thanks to the Nano-crew for a wonderful enterprise.  Woohoo! 

As to the novel, it's about halfway done.  And I'll be tinkering with my plans but I think 1,000 words a day is a good minimum goal.  Guess I'm shooting to be done with the first draft by March 08.

Woohoo!

YOU ROCK! You REALLY ROCK! Dude, you are the dude who knows the Dude! Well done. Look for tasty rewards when you get to Hawaii. I'm so impressed by your stamina, determination and self-patience. Go Laura Morefield. I'll be standing in line at Barnes & Noble when they publish your book...

I knew you could do it
I've never met anyone so determined, funny and downright marvelous as you are. Daddy Sam knew what he was doing when he promised you to me. If he is conscious of your achievement, his dimples are very deep, his smile is very large and his dear heart is bursting. So is mine.

Woo hoo! Good for you! Can't wait to see how the post-Nano writing routine settles in. What a cool experiment.

Fan-tas-ti-mor-phic! I am in awe. I bow to your superior NaNoWriMo voodoo. Your kung-fu is righteously above all others. Wow-dee-di-diddly-wow!

 

Rockin' Laura

<bowing> Thanks Erik! Nice to rock, eh? I have been struggling the past few days to avoid the temptation to edit...I'm plowing ahead at a more reasonable pace.

Can't wait for the REAL finish line of the first draft being done. I'm figuring Marchish?

Can't wait to talk to you, Cindy, about the lessons gleaned from this experiment!

Thanks for the cheerleading and the Tuesday afternoons off. <gg> But I miss our chats!

Todd,

You've been an amazing cheerleader. I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and the extra words you bequeathed me.

Want to do Nanowrimo together next year?
