Hello Limebird Reader,
So awfully sorry to be interrupting you like this, but I have some news…. I’ve only gone and bloomin reached 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo! Huzzah!!! Well I am currently on 50,003 to be precise, and I’m planning on adding some more now, but I had to stop to share this with you lovely people.
Bow down to me mere mortals for I am… wait, too much? Sorry about that, I am just so very excited. This is my first year of taking part in NaNoWriMo (if you hadn’t guessed from my hundreds of posts on it) and I’m so proud of myself that I was able to reach the target. I’ve seen so many others already hitting 50,000 and it just feels so great to be a part of that group.
It also feels amazing that I’m on day 24 out of 30 as well, so to finish early feels good. (Also, I’ve seen that apparently it’s ‘cheating’ if you don’t write for a day, which I didn’t know, but… *puts on bragging hat*, I didn’t actually write for 7 of those days due to lack of time, so I actualllyyyy completed it in 17 days. Not that I’m bragging or anything… *takes off bragging hat*.) Do I still win?
I haven’t actually read back over my work, so it could be a complete pile of rubbish, but I still did it and I still have thousands of words towards a book. I’ve always been one of those people who said ‘Yeah, I’ll write me a book one day’, or telling myself I had at least one book in me, but I never did anything about it.
If you’re sitting there thinking that you couldn’t do it, then think again! If I can, then you can. Get thinking about what you want to write for next year and just do it. We can achieve anything if we put our minds to it.
Thank you to everyone for your support through NaNoWriMo, especially other Wrimos as you’ve been awesome. I’ve really felt a sense of community and it’s been amazing meeting so many great people.
So, for now, I’m going to go and collapse somewhere, hopefully in some kind of vat of chocolate.
