Eureeka!

By Jove, it seems she's done it!



Yes, i have managed to write over 50,000 words in less than a month! I am an official winner of
Nanowrimo 2005 and have earned full bragging rights. And a nice certificate to prominently display in my new home. I think waking up this morning and having the snow still here was a definite motivator. Snow in Vancouver makes me giddy. It is such a rarity. Like writing a novel in a month! Sorry. I am so very giddy right now.
Something else that makes me giddy is the fact that i managed to finish the whole novel without any easily discernable plot! Go me! No plot? No problem.

Time for a little dance. Woo hoo novel dance!
Oh the sense of accomplishment!



But now what do i do?
What shall be my next big project?

CURLING!

You rock my world, Writer Jacq. I, on the other hand, am such a space cadet that I can't even write 750 words, because I'm too busy staring out the window.
At least I can claim the glory of having persuaded you to do Nanowrimo.

Is this to be my place in the world? To be forever leading my friends to do things at which they will acheive greatness, but never to be great myself?

This is a little late but good job. And way to go on the no plot, I'm pretty impressed with that.

And I think that curling in a little too small a project for a full fledged novelist. Maybe you should aim for something that will be more your speed. Like colonizing the moon.
