NaNoWriMo

Today marks the end of NaNoWriMo.

I finished my latest book's first draft a couple of days ago, but I added a few scenes and ideas and padded the word count with an exercise to reveal another side of my main character. Doing this allowed me to reach my monthly goal of 60k.

My official NaNoWriMo-2008 word count was: 60, 086.

I've enjoyed this fast-paced writing exercise. I will likely try this again--perhaps before next November. I'm tossing around the idea of doing another attempt on my own in May 2009. We'll see...

For the time being, I'm going to let this draft rest for a few days, catch up on some reading and sleep, and then start editing/rewriting on Draft #2.

Oh -- and I have a tentative working title for this latest book.

...Test of Will...or maybe...A Test of Will...or...A Test of Wills.....or something...I figure it will come to me before I get the final draft done.

Thanks for joining me on this month-long journey.

Take care all -
