Day 30 of the NaNoWriMo challenge. And — drumroll, please! — I did it! I won! I wrote 50,005 words in 30 days! It took six packets of M&Ms, bucketloads of salty-sweet popcorn, and the massive support of everyone who cheered me on both online and off (thank you!!!) to get me there. I fought through a double serve of tennis elbow, a demanding full-time day job and bouts of doubt and procrastination, and now I’m ready to collapse in a tired but happy heap.

Is the book finished? Nooooo. I figure I’ve got another 20K to write, and then comes the painful part — revision.

My playlist song of the day is for the poor forlorn ghosts in my book — “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds.
