I stayed up way too late last night and took out my Dragon voice recognition again and spent about 1 1/2 hours this morning talking as fast as it would let me to get to 50,000 words! It’s not a personal best for time or total words – that was last year with over 80,000 – but I made it!

My fourth year in a row I have won NaNoWriMo! Yay!

My story still has a long way to go and a lot of editing of story-line needed. I’m a pantser and, about halfway through a first draft, the whole story starts to gel more in my head. I like it this way. I’ll go back and edit and add now that I know where I’m heading. Who was I to know that the kingdom actually floated a couple of thousand years ago? Ha ha!

I hope all you NaNoers out there are spending the day wisely and writing like mad! Even if you do not hit the 50,000 (Come on, you can do it!), you have won if you got into the habit of BIC (butt in chair) and wrote more than you would have normally.

There’s always next year. Yay!
