Mindy Alyse Weiss - ALMOST THERE!

ALMOST THERE!

Nov. 13th, 2008 at 4:33 PM

I can't believe that I have 2,000 words to go before making my NaNoWriMo goal! I have a feeling that the story will continue on for another thousand or so, but...wow! It feels amazing to almost have the rough draft of my MG, THE WALL, finished.

I'm sending tons of good writing vibes to all my friends. You can do it! My first year, I didn't start until November 7 (I didn't even have the idea until that morning), and then I wrote 60,000 words by November 30.

So go, go, go--most of you are past the 20,000 mark now, and going strong. With 18 days left, I know you can do it! I can't wait to cheer for all your milestones this month--and to hear more about your new novels.

Thanks, Lauren. I'm up to 51,514 now and have one chapter left--and some scenes I want to flesh out. I can't wait to start revising this novel!

I'm sending lots of good writing vibes your way. :)

Thanks! It feels great. My eight year old and I did the happy dance when I hit 50,000 words today. I still have one chapter left to write, and hopefully both daughters will dance with me when this first draft is 100% finished.
