So. I’ve done it. I’ve finally reached 50,000 words, and only in 24 days. And boy, what a month it has been. Yesterday I beat my first every NaNoWriMo with 50,088 words. Ahead of schedule, to boot.
I honestly never thought I could do it. I’m unbelievably proud of myself and my accomplishments. True, half of the novel was crap, but that doesn’t matter because hey – it’s a draft, nothing’s perfect the first time around, and December is editing month!
But as I pause to collect myself, I find myself strangely empty. I was extremely stressed during the last month, but it has kept me going. I wrote, and now what will I do with all this free time?!
Now I pause to reflect, and a daunting question comes to mind: If I can do this, what else can I do? What else must I, must we all, do?
But I am novelist, hear me roar!
By the way, there’s a month until Christmas.
Happy Thanksigiving!
Your extremely happy novelist,
Bee.
