I wrote 8000 words in two days. Two days that included driving from LA to San Francisco, and eight hours paying work. I finally made my weary way to the finish line to submit my total of 50,030 words and then bask in the glory of my victory.
Imagine my joy when I saw the NaNoWriMo word count verifier’s verdict: 48,723 words. I looked at my watch. 11.10pm.
After the sprint-writing of the last day or so I actually made up the words in less than half an hour, so the end was less nail-biting than it might have been.
I have to read and annotate four chapters of other peoples’ work for a workshop tomorrow, but I may give myself Wednesday off, before the revision begins.
