Camp
NaNoWriMo has finally come to an end, and I rolled in at 50,000 words near
midnight on April 30th. I’ve continued to pluck away with the book
in the week since, though at a slightly reduced pace of 1,000 words per night.
If
you’re a writer and you’ve never attempted the NaNoWriMo experience, you owe it
to yourself to give it a shot at least once. The pace can be somewhat frenetic
if you aren’t used to it, but it will teach you a lot about holding yourself to
heavy deadlines. It will also just get you in the trench each day to write,
which is the best thing of all.
This
nudge has finished my final rewrite, and this time, I MEAN IT! I have one last
proofreading edit to do for the chapters I wrote in April, and then I am going
to begin querying agents. I’d say I have about a week or so of work before I’m
ready to throw down this next gauntlet in the challenge.
Wish
me luck! Soon my posts will turn to the travails of finding an agent.
