NaNoWriMo~ WINNER!

I don't have a lot of time for blogging these days, and just to prove it, here's my winner's icon for making it to 50,000 words in the National Novel Writing Month challenge (aka NaNoWriMo).


So, I'm working on my novel a lot, and right now I'm at about 96,000 words, and there's still two days left. I'm hoping to be at 100,000 words by the 30th of November, and have my first draft finished, too. It's a lot of work, but so much fun! I'm writing The Shadow of Rebellion, the sequel to my novel from November 2006, The Shadow of Greed. It's going to end up being a trilogy, I think.

I'm excited about this novel, even though it will be needing a LOT of editing. A lot. This is a really rough first draft for me, probably because I tried to squeeze in 100,000 words in one month instead of the usual 50,000.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about my blog-- I'm just writing like crazy right now and don't have much time. I'll be back in December, hopefully.
