You Did It! NaNoWriMo 2019


By Debra DuPree Williams @DDuPreeWilliams
Do you remember when I wrote the post about deciding to participate in NaNoWriMo—National Novel Writing Month? That's where you write 50,000 words in thirty days. In other words, you write a novel. In case you missed my Facebook post, I did it. I’m so excited about having accomplished that. I wrote 50,134 words in twenty-five days.



When I first made up my mind to join the group, they had been at this for four days. I had to play catch-up. Also, maneuvering all the techie things that went along with making that decision almost did me in. Yes. I almost quit before I wrote the first word.



But I hung in there. I sat down almost every day and wrote the words that came to my mind. And I did it. And so did many, many more of you.
