I know I'm very scarce on these boards but congrats to all the NaNo winners. I participated for the first time this year and am excited to say I wrote 50K toward a novel I've started 4 years ago. On October 31, I had 15 pages of it. On November 1st, I re-wrote those 15 pages and then kept going. I hit 50K on November 29. On December 1 I came down with a horrid cold and have been bedridden all week. I think the NaNo gods kept the cold away until I finished. My book is a romance novel that should be about 55-60K when complete and will be targetted to Silhouette Special Edition. My plan is to pitch it to an editor at the RWA conference in Washington, DC next July.
It was a great experience for me and proved I could write a whole novel. Well, actually I still have a chapter or two to write, and then I edit and polish. Our TGIO brunch is tomorrow and if I continue to feel better, I should be able to attend.
