Yes! Yes! Yessssss!
It wasn't easy. I was on the catching up for most of the month. But l did it!

The story isn't done, but a big chunk of it is revised. Hoping to finish this round of revision by the end of December.

In the congratulation video, many people gave a definition of 'NaNoWriMo Winner'. One said, "someone who's really trying to take the Ring to Mordor".
Well, it certainly felt like that on some days ?

zsuzsanna_reads Congratulations! 6y

Moray_Reads Congratulations! I'm always impressed with NaNoWriMo participants. I just don't have the discipline 😅 6y

And I go from 46-something k imperfect words to 39579 imperfect words. Turns out when you‘re moving sections around, you accidentally wind up with some of them in there multiple times. :::deep sigh::::

GingerAntics Oh I hate when that happens!!! 6y

CocoReads @GingerAntics I was pretty dismayed but I‘m glad I discovered it today instead of at 11:45 pm on November 30. 6y

GingerAntics Oh that would have been way worse. Yeah. Good thing it was now, still in the middle of the month. 6y

I won!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I worked on book two novel of my pirate story trilogy. ⚓️⚔️☠️ And continued to write scenes for a pirate spine off time travel novella.

Couldn‘t have done it without the support of so many eager readers! Thanks! 😊

Any of my litsy friends taking part in this years NaNoWriMo??? It's my first time and I'm super nervous and excited and have zero buddies 😂#nanowrimo

the.bookish.valkyrie I am! It‘s my first attempt! I‘m so excited! And even more nervous, lol! 7y

hermyknee Oh I've done this before! I will do it again this year if everyone else is - is there any way to set up a #Litsy group through the #NaNoWriMo website?! ❤️ 7y

TK-421 This will be my fourth year. What's your Nano name? I'll add you! 7y

TK-421 @hermyknee I checked the Nano forums and it looks like there isn't a current thread for Litsy in the social media forum, but there used to be! I can't access it - probably because Nano wipes the forums every year. It must be showing up in search results even though it no longer exists. 7y

JazzFeathers This will be my 12th year... and l don't feel ready at all 😨 7y

LazyLibrary @TK-421 Lguido. lol not very original, but I panicked!!!! 7y

LazyLibrary @BookHoarder32 Thanks!!! I'm going to!!! 7y

LazyLibrary @ValkyrieAndHerBooks omg me too!!!! Best of luck to you!!!! Let me know your writing name! (edited) 7y

LazyLibrary @JazzFeathers wow!!!! That's awesome and impressive!!! 7y

LazyLibrary @hermyknee let me know if you join this year!! 7y

mrozzz I've done it twice... still weighing whether or not I'll do it this year. I think I'm just melannrosenthal 7y

LazyLibrary @mrozzz Do it!!!! It seems fun, scary and challenging!!! I hope I'll be able to do it! I'm gonna be a lousy employee this November! 7y

mrozzz I'm currently in a state of revision and not sure if I have it in me to start something new... when I have done it I just write as fast as I can (by hand) whenever I'm on a train- which is minimum 2 hours per day 7y

LazyLibrary @mrozzz Revisions 😩They are the worst! But so satisfying in the end! Best of luck to you! 7y

Find me on NaNoWriMo at "gagibsonp" and we can do this together!!

GoldenGirl So, what is this? You write a little each day and people can critique your writing....as you're writing? 8y

JustTrish @GoldenGirl no critique - you just cheer each other on. The goal is 50,000 words. I did it a few times- no time this year sadly😕 8y

GoldenGirl @JustTrish Ok, so no one can see what you're writing. They just follow your ststa 8y

Good luck and godspeed to all the brave #NaNoWriMo writers out there!

I did it years ago and just barely completed my word count on time. I haven't had the courage or time to try again since, but have great respect for those that do!
