I did it i did it….
Despite illness, and various tablets I completed Nanowrimo in 15 days! Not my record (in 2010 i did it in 10 days) but, I’m not worried about that. I just didn’t wanna go through what i did last year 25,000 words in the last week! lol
At the beginning i was feeling a bit down about the whole thing (you can see by my little bars above lol), but when i started picking up momentum, and actually enjoying what i was writing, the days, and words, just flew by. I think doing a combination of laptop and hand writing really helped with the dodgy shoulder too. I was really worried that would be the thing that stopped me completing.
But it was all helped by our All Day Write In on Saturday…so a huge thank you to the 23 other Wrimo’s who attended.
And to the Kent Nano Facebook group, who’s support and sprinting is invaluable!
Didn’t write anything yesterday (needed a break and some chill time) but i’ll be getting back to work today 🙂 and of course, i still have my ML duties to perform until the end of the month, but now i can really concentrate on cheering everyone else on.
Ive still got a bit of work to do on the short story collection, might even add a couple, but its made me realise that i can write every day…i can finish a short story…but what i will discover shortly is if i can actually edit something he he he.
How are my fellow Wrimo’s doing?

Thanks Jo, good for you! Good luck 🙂
I stupidly said to someone that i might…MIGHT…consider self publishing this collection, if i can get them edited, so MIGHT, be on the lookout for a Beta reader at some stage (don’t panic, we could be talking months lol) if you’re interested?

Very cool idea for a support group and to meet for a whole day of writers writing. Uninterupted. Sigh.
Great job! Cheers

Well done, Vikki! Good for you! I’ve started writing by hand now as I get a bad shoulder and I’m pretty sure it’s laptop related! x

Thanks Linda,
Ahhhh, yeah, well thats what I’ve been doing, flipping between the two….i think the problem is when you type although your hands move the shoulders don’t, so if you do it for a long time…… 😦
Hope you’re feeling better soon and good luck!
