Well, NaNoWriMo is officially over. I ended with a mere 10K words to show for it, however I really did get a lot out of this.
As cliche as it sounds, it made me realize that writers are not born as writers. It takes a lot of um, writing to be a writer.
So while I'm not all that jazzed about dinosaurs or dragons anymore, I am going to try to squeeze out another 10K at least so I have something to rewrite.
Today however I'm focused on something else entirely--making Swedish meatballs for Gretchen's annual nighttime wintertime BBQ in the freezing cold. And she's not even Minnesotan!
Keep pestering me about the book, please.
Word count: 10,003

Consider yourself pestered. And yes, it does take a lot of work to be a writer. Now that you know that, you know you can do it! So do it!
Rachele! What a nice surprise!
What is your email address? Maybe I'm just not seeing it on your site?
I can share the hilarity of our attempts at authorship, including a romance novel set in Sudan and a children's' book about a family living on a sugar beet farm in North Dakota. (Really.)
The romance made it to about 9,000 words before I discovered I can't write about sex.
