Well, if finishing means you won, then I did! Fifty-thousand two-hundred thirty-seven words and I’m done.

Well, the first draft is, anyway. Now I have something to work with so I’m off to make the book actually be readable.

Hope you all had great Thanksgivings!

    Wow, Kathy! Congrats.

    I have one day to write 20k. Something tells me it’s not going to happen.

    Great Job Kathie, Congratulations!
    Now you can craft and polish the gold nugget you created. Good luck!

    Jaye, thanks! Twenty thousand words in one day–you can do it if you don’t sleep…but something tells me you want it to be coherant! Good luck knocking out half–you can do at least half.

    Susan, thanks so very much for your comment. That is sweet of you to encourage me. It’s amazing how much a little phrase from someone you admire can mean!

    Madhu, same goes to you–thinking it’s a gold nugget–you’ll soon see how gritty it is!

    You did it — hooray! I meant to do it, but an international move got in the way…
