This is my Novel. I wrote it in the month of November. Opal's novel is probably loads better than mine, but my word count is 51,394 words. That was 175 pages double spaced, about 78 single spaced. It was an average of 1,667 words per day, but I usually averaged 3000 on Saturdays.
It is not art. It is not going to change the world. It is not going to be the next bestseller. But I wrote a novel. I persevered, and that's good enough for me.
Also, I got a new camera. Sorry for my apparent obsession with photographing myself with books.
ReplyDeleteBeth, And once we have that credit union and you have paid back the loan we gave you, Erik, and Athena for the coffee house, we'll accept a proposal to front the publication of both your novel and Opal's! LDL
ReplyDeleteAre you planning to do our own NaNoWriMo in July with me?
ReplyDeleteCamp NaNoWriMo! Oooh, I'd love to!
ReplyDeleteSweeeeet!
ReplyDeleteMy friend from Lawrence U is building us a website, I think. It should be up sometime in June, if he has time.
Oh man. Otherwise, NaNoWriMo is doing something for the summer, I think it's 50,000 words in three months. I got an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too.
ReplyDeleteBut Erty's site will be just for us cool kids. (I.E. Erty's and my friends)
