I hit 48464 Thursday night before midnight. I got up and wrote the prologue to the first book of a 3 part series; took a little over two hours, took a nap and then the last 500+ over about 4 hours this afternoon. Wow, wow, wow, what an experience!!! The hardest part was the start, and the finish.

I'm so freakin' excited. Now to keep on, edit, prepare for submission to... well... every freakin' where!

Ciao!!!

Congratulations to everyone who finished!!!!!!!!

I bottomed out and didn't get there. We had a family situation come up mid month that took me away from everything for a good week and a half and there was just no way to make up for that time.

I'll be back on next year.

So happy to have found this thread!

I made my word count, and came skidding across the finish line at month's end with just over 54,000 words! It was quite literally a month of madness! Being in that creative energy was great! I still need to finish the story-- no ending in sight... the plot staggers from side to side like a gun shot victim on open seas , but there are *moments* that I really like, having revisited it just recently.

Anyone interested in giving some feedback? I could use a brave beta reader who wouldn't mind plowing through *ahem* creative grammar and a story line that was totally improvised! It's a speculative fiction piece

Congrats to all that finished!

I'm absolutely going to try it again next year!

*bump bump* it's around the corner. And perhaps a series of short stories might be a good option for those starting out. The reason I mention that is Alice Munro, a Canadian author known for her anthologies of short stories, won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

once upon a time I started a book and even was told by Radclyffe that she wanted to see it when I finished alas I got stuck... but I have written some authors challenges, short stories so perhaps who knows
