Done!

I've passed the 50,000 word mark for my NaNoWriMo novel, Feather Lore, and I've just about decided that the first draft is complete. I'll begin editing this week, or next, and see where I can go from there.

This was my first year participating in NaNoWriMo, and I'm really proud of myself for passing the 50,000 word mark by day 19. In spite of having the flu last week, I managed to write everyday. Writing the draft was the easy part. Now the real work begins.

NaNoWriMo is in full swing!

Yesterday was the first day of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I was up at midnight to get started, and finished 1,669 words before heading to bed at 1 a.m. In total, I completed 7,282 words for my first day, which I felt was a pretty good start.

While I won't be writing as much today, I will get more words in by later this evening. I hope to have somewhere between 10,000-15,000 words completed by the end of the day. That's the plan, but we'll see.
