I was behind all month, but the last couple of days I finally got to write the crux of the story where really starts to unfold after all of the descriptions of the feelings that have led up to this point. And it has flowed! I still have three more pivotal scenes to write and a little bit of a conclusion, but as of 2.5 hours ago, I hit my fifth NaNo win. *sighs with relief and pleasure*
There were times I doubted I was going to get to this point, but once I laid the groundwork for the story, it got easier. Not for the characters, but for me. :)
And in so doing, I won the NaNoWriMo Victory Badge by "writing a 50,000-word novel, from scratch, in thirty days."
Congratulations! :)
Dana, that's wonderful! Congratulations!
Thanks, Leigh and Mary! Believe me, I appreciate all of your cheerleading throughout the month. When I was behind for so long, I started to doubt myself. I wondered if this was going to be the first NaNo I didn't win. Reading your encouragement holped a lot! {{{HUGS}}}
