So I have officially completed my novel and am a NaNoWriMo winner!
Yay!
Only the novel isn't actually finished yet. The last section has been a massive infodump explaining what has really happend. Not very satisfying that. And I now have to get my characters out of the scrape they're in. I know how I'm going to do this, but have still got to write it.
So some more work to be done - tomorrow if I can manage it! - before its finished, but I am nearly there, and I have met the challenge.
Not that anyone is going to want to read it!
Next stop is getting some of those short story ideas written properly, and then maybe I should try to market some of them!
Its been an interesting month, and I think I've found myself more capable in this arena than I expected. Many thanks and hugs to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purplejavatroll for initially badgering me into it and to purpletigron for also providing support, encouragement, and a final push over the edge to sign up.
Maybe I'll post the thing up sometime for people to read, but I do need to finish it first. Anyone really wanting to read something by me could look at:

where there's a chapter by me in a collaborative fiction project. Be warned - it contains Cthulhoid messiness.
And so to bed!

Very best of wishes with the finishing, re-writing, editing... I'm assuming that you want to do this properly, and get something vaguely polished?
I'm so glad that you've finally 'gotten over the hump' (well, a hump :-) on this writing thang! I hope you can write me a story some time :-)

I suggest you wait a month, and then start another one!
